from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- What does Mike Babcock do with his centres on Team Canada. Sidney Crosby, check. Jonathan Toews, check. John Tavares, check. Patrice Bergeron, check. And does that mean Steven Stamkos, Eric Staal, Ryan Getzlaf and Logan Couture are all playing the wing. Those have to be eight of Team Canada’s forwards, don’t they, assuming an Olympic announcement ever gets made.

- Teams that could use Tim Thomas, assuming he’s not completely lost his body and mind: Colorado, Edmonton, Calgary, Florida, Dallas and maybe Pittsburgh ... And no, he won’t be going to Washington for any kind of visists.

- The rumblings out of Ottawa, which are much more than rumblings, tell a story of a Senators team almost out of money and of an owner, Eugene Melnyk, in trouble. Stay tuned: Melnyk may be losing more than Daniel Alfredsson ... And just when I was starting to fall in love — in a hockey way — with Alfredsson, he bolted Ottawa. And now I can resume not caring about him anymore.
