from Jim Matheson of Hockey World at the Edmonton Journal,

- Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ray Shero was seen at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota over the last few days. Was he looking at Pierre-Marc Bouchard or Devin Setoguchi for his second line? The playmaking Bouchard’s contract is up July 1. The Wild won’t re-sign him. Setoguchi is more of a shooter.

- What the Edmonton Oilers sorely need is a David Clarkson or a Kyle Clifford type to play in their top 6. Clifford was a second-round Los Angeles Kings’ draft pick in 2009 who had 28 points in 60 junior games and 103 penalty minutes. He’s a hard-nosed kid with fair hands, now playing with Justin Williams and Jeff Carter. Undoubtedly, winger Mitch Moroz of the Western Hockey League’s Edmonton Oil Kings could their Clifford.
