Dan Barnes of the Edmonton Journal: Coming out of Edmonton the last couple days is the hope/wishful thinking of landing both the #1 and #2 picks in this years amateur draft. Could the 31st pick overall and Ales Hemsky land the Leafs pick that belongs to Boston? The Oils might have to take back Michael Ryder’s $4 million cap hit.
Damien Cox of the Toronto Star: The Maple Leafs are one of at least 6 teams that are interested in signing the Norwegian Hobbit, Mats Zuccarello-Aasen. Other teams who are reportedly interested in MZA are the Red Wings, Thrashers, Stars, Oilers and Blackhawks. The Leafs are more interested in adding size upfront, but are also on the lookout for potential top 6 forwards.
Jay Greenberg of NY Post: New York Rangers forward Ryan Callahan might be ready go after suffering a right leg injury after colliding with Zdeno Chara. Sean Avery missed practiced on Monday, but will be lineup on Thrusday against the Devils.
Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette: Both Mike Cammalleri and Marc-Andre Bergeron will return to the Canadiens lineup tonight against the Buffalo Sabres, and will give their powerplay a much needed boost.
