NHL Morning Papers (Monday Edition)

Here are the morning papers for Monday the 11th of August:

• The Predators have already begun looking at a number of alternatives, should Alexander Radulov not return to the team, writes John Glennon.
• Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News wonders if Guy Carbonneau should be in the Hall of Fame?
• Kevin Allen of USA Today has a terrific article on the ramifications of Gretzky’s trade to Los Angeles. (Writer’s note: There have been many articles written about the trade in the last few days, but this is definitely one of the better ones.)

That is it folks.  The scribes are all on vacation.
