from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
• Best way to become a general manager in the National Hockey League: Be born to the right family. Five of the NHL’s 30 GMs are a son or a son-in-law of a former GM.
• Brian Burke has invested more than $22 million in the Maple Leafs defence, which is about $5 million more than the Boston Bruins will pay for their defence this coming season. The Bruins, for the record, allowed 96 fewer goals against than did the Leafs last season.
• Steve Yzerman doesn’t like to talk much about his future ambitions but he had hoped that if the Chicago Blackhawks were going to change general managers, he would be strongly considered.
• There are almost 150 unsigned free agents in the NHL and all but three or four are players who could disappear without anyone ever noticing.
