Yesterday was some big news. The Toronto Maple Leafs gave us our opening day roster and players cleared waivers and we had a trade! There was lesser news by lesser teams as well. The Montreal Canadiens named a new captain (Shea Weber, of course) and they also made a trade of their own:

The important name there is Rinat Valiev. Along with Kerby Rychel and a 2nd round pick, Valiev was the return Montreal got for Tomas Plekanec at last seasons trade deadline.
