* The article talks about good players that hockey teams can sign for cheap, like finding hidden treasures! One player mentioned is Nick Blankenburg, who plays for the Colorado Avalanche. He's a good defenseman who can help the team score and also play defense.
* Even though he's not the biggest player, he's good at moving the puck and can be a smart addition to the Avalanche's defense without costing too much money. This means the team can save money to get other good players too.
