THE HOCKEY NEWS.COM: Ken Campbell reports the Detroit Red Wings will be facing some difficult roster decisions this summer, suggesting if they re-sign Marian Hossa they could lose some productive players in the process, including Jiri Hudler (a restricted free agent) and Mikael Samuelsson (an unrestricted free agent). Campbell also wonders about the futures of Tomas Holmstrom, Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby and Chris Chelios.
Commish's Note:
The Wings are one of the classiest organizations out there, which could lead to their down fall. If i was Kenny Holland (and god knows, some day i will be) I would let Hossa walk (they won a cup with out him before) and it might be time to cut ties with Draper, Maltby, Holmstrom and Chelios. As good as they have been for the Wings in the past, its players like Hudler, who are young and fast, that will help the Wings stay competitive.
TORONTO SUN: Steve Buffery reports the Maple Leafs won't be bringing back Curtis Joseph as their backup for next season. Leafs GM Brian Burke is hoping to sign Swedish goalie Jonas Gustavsson but failing that could re-sign Martin Gerber or look toward the UFA market for a replacement.

I love Cujo, always have and always will. But dude, it's time....
Wouldn't mind Gerber as a 1b in Toronto, but Burke seesm to have a hard of for this Gustavsson guy...and who am I to argue about that? He could be the next Nik Nackstrom....or the next Artrus Irbe...who knows...Seems like Pogge's days are numbered...
TSN.ca: is reporting that Dany Heatley wants out of Ottawa. He has a no movement clause so he can pick and chose the team he's delt to. Murray's response? He's contractually obligated to stay with the team.
Commish's Note:
Everyone's going to go crazy with Heatley to Edmonton rumours. Yes, I;'m sure the Oilers would LOVE Heatley, but would Heatley want to go to Edmonton? I doubt it....My money is on the Kings not being able to land Vinny and using those resources to go after Heatley.
