If you missed the Top 20 post, you can check that out here. The plan is for my goaltending post to come out on Monday, with my Top 200 post coming out in the middle of next week so you have it for your drafts next weekend. That said, between all of the individual posts, you should be able to put it together and get close to a Top 200.

Philly has a bunch of games this week against their direct competition, so expect Tocchet to lean on their studs. There are only two games on Friday, so Tippett has a real case to be held. Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
