Evan’s NHL Daily: Tragedy In Calgary, Avalanche Stock Report
The NHL lost a true fighter on Saturday, as Calgary Flames assistant GM Chris Snow lost his battle with ALS. Snow leaves behind his wife, Kelsie, and two young children. The family has bravely documented Chris’ battle with the horrific disease the last few years, and did all they could to find a cure. He never stopped giving, and donated organs to four people who needed them before passing away.
CHN sends our thoughts to Chris, his family, and everyone affected.
On Saturday night, Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder dedicated a song to the family in a touching tribute.

Around The NHL
The waiver wire was busy again on Saturday. I’d imagine most, if not all, of these players will pass through waivers, but the closer we get to the start of the regular season, the more players we’ll see on the waiver wire every day.
