Our View: The 24-year-old former first-round pick could have become a restricted free agent July 1, meaning the Hurricanes could have matched any offer he received from another team. The winger scored five goals and 10 assists over 37 games in 2007-08.

| Vincent Lecavalier is eager to work out a long-term deal to remain with the Lightning, according to the Tampa Tribune. He said, "I'm looking forward to the new owners.

|
Our View: He scored 40 goals and 52 assists over 81 games in 2007-08, and his surgically repaired shoulder is healing on schedule.

| Sergei Gonchar is expected to play in Game 6, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Gonchar has been suffering from back spasms, but Coach Michel Therrien is optimistic Gonchar will suit up for action tonight. |
Our View: Gonchar scored 65 points over 78 games in the regular season, and it will be hard to keep him off the ice for critical Game 6, as Pittsburgh trails Detroit 3-2 in the series.
