If you can follow all that, you're ready to take on Brian Burke at a shell game.
- Jeremy Roenick mouths off about the NHLPA situation, uses the word "chickenshit." Article here, full interview here.
- Kyle McLaren tries to emigrate from the AHL as he's invited to the New York Rangers' training camp. No word whether Patrick Rissmiller was allowed on the same boat (rimshot).

- The Anaheim Ducks get defenseman Steve Eminger from the... well shit, which of his three teams this past season had him last?
