from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- New York Rangers - where free agents go to disappear. Hello and goodbye Kevin Shattenkirk. It was nice knowing you.

- Not sure I understand Brian Boyle signing in New Jersey. He almost won a Cup in New York. He almost won a Cup in Tampa. He played on a great young team in Toronto. And now, what?

- On their best day, they were better than Dave Andreychuk, now a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame: Jeremy Roenick, Alexander Mogilny, Rick Middleton, Steve Larmer, Dale Hunter, Daniel Alfredsson and Theo Fleury.

- Is it me or are the Winnipeg Jets becoming the Philadelphia Flyers West? They are a great goaltender away from being a decent team and they’re still a great goaltender away from being that.
