- The Caps should not and probably cannot trade Alex Ovechkin. This might seem obvious, but, well, this is the Internet. [WaPo]
- So who stays and who goes? [PuckBuddys]

- Nolan Yonkman is heading overseas to perhaps Finnish his career. [PHT]
- Finally, happy 23rd birthday to Evgeny Kuznetsov. Still only 23…
