The NHL season has started. Are you intrigued?
Probably not, because that's a weird word that only ever gets broken out for gimmicks like this, but whatever. Let's mark the new year with my annual list of names around the league who I'm especially interested in tracking over the coming season.
We’re looking for 12 forwards, six defensemen and two goalies, plus a coach and a GM. One name per team, with enough honorable mentions to get every team a mention. And just to make things a little tougher and spread the intrigue around, nobody from last year’s list is allowed to repeat.
