| Wild assistant GM Tom Lynn has told reporters the club will have to consider trading star RW Marian Gaborik if he doesn't accept their contract offers, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "If he were to indicate he wasn't going to sign, then we'd have to make a decision about whether we'd want to play with that distraction," Lynn told the Pioneer Press. "We would have to weigh the pros and cons, and if that time came and he was not re-signing, then we would have to decide his trade value. But it's not an automatic." |

| Former Canucks head coach Marc Crawford defended himself in court documents, saying he had no control over Todd Bertuzzi when he attacked Steve Moore, seriously injuring him, in a game in 2004. Bertuzzi filed a claim saying Crawford should pay part of any damages received by Moore, who is suing Bertuzzi, according to the Toronto Star. In the statement, Crawford said in part that the attack "was not done under any specific or general direction or encouragement from Crawford, was a direct disobedience of the instruction that Bertuzzi had been given from the bench to get off the ice, and was a violation of Bertuzzi's duties." |
