(1) Henrik Sedin is now an assistant Captain. Turn’s out he has something Daniel doesn’t (aside from a slightly wider face). I wouldn’t be suprised if Vingeault flipped a coin over this one;

(2) Cody Hodgson is back with Brampton after an unsatisfactory pre-season. However, Shirokov, Glass, and Rome are going to land rightfully earned roster spots;

(3) Mats Sundin has retired officially, a surprisingly fast decision for him; and

(4) Hansen has shattered his fist and dreams, hanging out on the long term IR with Demitra and Schneider for the start of the season.

In additional news – leafs suck, flames suck, oilers suck.
