Chatter on Twitter also suggests that the NHLPA is looking into the possibility of doing something similar in the other provinces.

Habs and Hockey News
- The community at HabsWorld contemplates the still unsigned P.K Subban. Speaking of P.K, he was named the top Hab under 25 by Eyes on the Prize. No great surprise there.
- Other than some informal discussions over the weekend, there were no new official meetings over the past few days. Meanwhile, over at THN, Ken Campbell argues that this current round of bargaining is more complex than the previous one. As for Stu Hackel, he looks at the new twist provided by the aforementioned legal challenge.
- For those of you who follow these links regularly, you know I'm kind of a nerd for far-flung international hockey. On that note, the Canterbury Devils were recently crowned champions of New Zealand. And hey, we have contacts with NZ, Kamal has done a few guest spots on radio there!
