from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Wouldn’t Bryan Murray be better off saying nothing than putting Paul MacLean’s coaching future in question in Ottawa?

- Plus-minus may be an irrelevant statistic when comparing players from team to team but it’s not irrelevant within the concept of an individual team ... Which makes Dion Phaneuf’s minus-12 for the month, after being +20 heading in, all the more alarming because he lines up against the best players every night.

- So I wonder: Is it possible for Vinny Lecavalier to get bought out two years in a row?
