from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- The price to trade for pending free agent defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk is too high. The price to sign him long term is even more expensive ... Have to wonder a little about Shattenkirk when he had a chance to play for a contending roster in Tampa Bay for $6 million a year over seven years and he turned it down. Never mind where the Lightning are now: A defence with Viktor Hedman, Anton Stralman and Shattenkirk would be Blackhawks-like.

- My top 10 most entertaining players in the NHL: 1. Connor McDavid; 2. Patrick Kane; 3. Vladimir Tarasenko; 4. Erik Karlsson; 5. Johnny Gaudreau; 6. Brent Burns; 7. Sidney Crosby; 8. Alexander Ovechkin; 9. Mitch Marner; 10. Mikael Granlund.

- Anaheim has traded for forward Patrick Eaves but the Ducks are still dangling one of their depth young defenceman in exchange for a forward of consequence. GM Bob Murray has the deepest defence in his system of any team in hockey.
