• The Kings finally re-signed Patrick O’Sullivan to a 3 year, $8.85 million deal.  I agree with Mirtle, this contract favors the Kings.  With a young player like O’Sullivan you had to know there was no way he was going to sit out an entire season without playing hockey just because of money.
  • Here’s Battle of California and Spector’s take on the O’Sullivan deal.
  • Don’t expect the Capitals to open next season in Europe, says owner Ted Leonsis.  Leonsis makes very good points as to why the Capitals won’t be heading overseas.
  • More keys to the Canucks’ season from Orland Kurtenblog.  Good two-part series by the boys at OK.
  • Want Calgary’s line combinations for game one of the season? Too bad; Mike Keenan isn’t telling you. Duhatschek does his best to try.
  • Lowetide with details on the Oilers’ demotions today.  IC wishes Rob Schremp and his family all the best.
