  • More of the same on the Mike Green front. [CI (Carrera), CW (Whyno), DCEx (McNally)]
  • Ditto Jay Beagle. [CW (Whyno)]
  • Mathieu Perreault understands why he gets healthy-scratched every now and again. [CW (Whyno)]

• Cody Eakin is here... to stay? [WashTimes (Whyno)]
• Congrats to John Erskine on NHL game number 400 (which came against the team that drafted him). [CSNW (Gormley)]
• Karl Alzner has a nasty "talent" (and not the good kind of nasty, either). [Capital Games]
