Fraser, rankings....

An announcement late yesterday about the Dallas Stars signing 20-year-old Ice forward Matt Fraser is here. After a lot of speculation in the off-season that the Canucks were going to sign the popular Ice forward the Stars scoop him up. It's a testament to the former 9th round (172nd overall) Bantam pick in the 2005 Draft and his ability to get better each and every season after being picked up by the Ice in the 2007 trade for overage forward Clayton Bauer.

The CHL Top Ten rankings were released yesterday as well and the Ice are on it for the third straight week. Still slotted at eighth, which is likely due to their schedule more than their record. A tougher weekend starting against Saskatoon should affect that number next week.
