Bryan D from Aberdeen, Wash.
What's the situation in Edmonton? Will they try to acquire Corcoran?
I would consider Edmonton one of the favorites to acquire Corcoran. They have the picks and young pieces needed for a deal to go down, plus they're still looking for a replacement to Mike Honcho. Craig Whatman is not what they expected at all and Jonas Gustavo could use some seasoning, so a goalie like Corcoran would be a massive plus for them. Like I said, I would expect them to go full-out to try and woo the Steelhawks. Will they get him? Hard to tell, but I expect them to be favorites.
Jeffrey Dar from Calgary, AB
How much do you love Dar?
I think Jeff Dar is a fantastic player. He's one of my favorites and I hope and expect to see him in the Hall of Fame when he's done playing.
Do you think Dar will retire?
Gosh, I hope not. It'd be like when Alex Reay retired. It would take a special player to fill his role, that's for sure.
Franklin Goose from New York City, NY
Who do you think has the best chance of winning this season and why?
I would say Minnesota. The team is still so complete and there is not one guy on that team with a poor work ethic. Everybody there is the proverbial "first to arrive, last to leave" type. They have been underestimated again this season, but I expect them to rise once again.
Frank Gooseneck from Manhattan, NY
What are your thoughts on the Manhattan Rage and there team?
I expect them to make the playoffs and most likely, the conference finals. Their offense is average, but their defense is what holds this team together. Between Quilha Agante, Erik Chisling, and Jardy Bunclewirth, they form the most formidable top three defenseman in the league. They say defense wins championships, though, so if Manhattan winds up in the finals, I wouldn't be shocked. They should definitely make it tough on Minnesota, Toronto, and West Kendall.
At the beach. A bell rings, a woman dies. What happened?
Her bell was rung.

thoughts on the Hamilton Steelhawks' goalie Tom Corcoran demanding a trade and if you think a deal will fall through or no one wants him so he stays with the Hawks?
I personally do not expect that we will see a deal, largely because he is just too valuable to the Steelhawks and Lindsay and Martucci will try their best to calm him down. However, like I said above, I would put Edmonton as the favorites for his services. Manhattan and Los Angeles could also play a little role, however. I would put them very close to Edmonton in terms of who gets him. Because of Gustavo's presence, I wouldn't be shocked if the Comets pullback should the asking price be too high.
