Unless someone pulls a rabbit out of the hat at the last minute, Mats Sundin will be, by the end of this week, either a Vancouver Canuck or a New York Ranger.

Obligatory first post
Welcome to Ice Wizards, the (for the time being) newest hockey blog on the world wide web. The direction that I am aiming to take this blog is very James Mirtle influenced. A lot of people, like myself, just want the bare news of whats going on in the NHL, and Mirtle's blogging style does this perfectly.
