from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Robin Lehner is Lamoriello’s latest goalie. He is 6-foot-4. Same height as Fred Andersen. Once inch taller than Cory Schneider. Size matters to Lamoriello, especially in goal.

- If Vinnie Hinostroza is the prize the Arizona Coyotes claim him to be, why would the semi rebuilding Blackhawks trade him away as part of the Marian Hossa contract swap? It’s not like Stan Bowman to being giving away quality talent.

a few more hockey notes, mostly Toronto related...
