NHL Morning Papers (Saturday Edition): NHL doesn’t like deals past 40, Oilers done with Heatley and Ottawa doesn’t want Heatley at training camp

Here is what the Hurricanes will look like heading into the 2009/10 season, writes Luke Decock.
“The contract is legitimate and approved by the NHL. We are confident the NHL will conclude that there is absolutely no evidence the Blackhawks intended to circumvent the salary cap,” said a Blackhawks executive about the NHL’s investigation of Marian Hossa’s twelve-year contract.
The NHL says it is looking closely at the deal because it takes Hossa past his magical 40th birthday, writes Tim Sassone.
Former Red Wings winger Dallas Drake now owns a stake in a North American Hockey League team.
Any concern from Wings fans about Nicklas Lidstrom possibly hanging up the skates, can be put on hold for now, explains George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press.
While the Oilers’ pursuit of Dany Heatley has stopped, at least defenseman Ladislav Smid only has good things to say about Edmonton as a city.
Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal is reporting that Charlie Huddy could become an assistant coach (in charge of defense) with the Dallas Stars.
Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger has all the details on the eight New Jersey signings from Friday.
The Blackhawks are not alone, as the NHL is apparently also looking into Chris Pronger’s contract.
Rebekah Sanders of the Arizona Republic provides readers with all they need to know about the latest goings on in Phoenix.
Attorneys for the NHL and Glendale have asked the judge to delay the case.
The Penguins are happy with the depth signings of Wyatt Smith and Wade Brookbank. Meanwhile, goaltender John Curry has signed a two-year deal with the Penguins.
The Blues have signed defenseman Brendan Bell to a one-year contract, writes Jeremy Rutherford.
Lightning owner, Len Barrie, has paid the other Lightning owner, Oren Koules, to satisfy a debt owed.
Give the man credit, as Jim Balsillie is not really willing to give up on the Coyotes just yet.
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun says both the Senators and Dany Heatley would prefer not to see each other at training camp.
If Kyle Wellwood wants to improve, he will need to become a more consistent player, writes Gordon McIntyre.
With the signing of Milan Jurcina, the Capitals certainly don’t lack bodies on the back-end.
