NHL Morning Papers (Monday Edition)

Here are the morning papers for Monday the 25th of August:

• The Blue Jackets have asked Nikita Filatov to stop playing exhibition games in Russia and he has agreed to the request, writes Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch.
• Johan Franzen had the Cup for a day and he decided to take it to his old school.
• Georges Laraque says he chose to play in Montreal because of his mother. (Writer’s note: This article was from Sunday but was not published when I posted the Sunday Papers.)
