Shouldn't be too awkward with the old leadership still hanging around, right?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Steve Moore's brother doesn't know what he's talking about when he claims there's no settlement in place in the lawsuit against Todd Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks.

It has to be the right one. It's nice to have the luxury of picking your spots, eh?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Could the Winnipeg Jets actually be worse this season? In one area, yes, but there should be real improvement in another. That's nice, but as long as its goaltending continues to rank at the bottom of the league, this team is going nowhere.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Taylor Hall says his decision to reject Team Canada's invitation to play at the World Championships gave him the chance to come into this season healthy and ready to elevate his game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 With a round of \u201Cbest shape of my life\u201D stories on the horizon, Justin Bourne tells you how to sort out the true 3% body fat types from the guys who spent the summer drinking beer on the links.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B\u2022 Connor McDavid was in Buffalo Thursday to promote an upcoming game between his Erie Otters and the Niagara Ice Dogs. Not surprisingly, the topic of possibly playing for the Sabres one day came up. Here's what he had to say.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Ontario Hockey League's new anti-fighting and \u201Cdirty hit\u201D rules are tough, but players will learn to live within the system. The real pressure now falls on the shoulders of the referees whose calls become more impactful than ever with new suspension protocols coming on line.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Don Brennan says the Ottawa Senators should name a defenseman as their new captain, but it should not be Erik Karlsson.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Tim Leiweke isn't just another faceless exec who'll easily be replaced at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, writes Cathal Kelly. His planned departure next summer  will cripple the organization.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 On the other hand,&amp;nbsp;Mark Zwolinski said Leiweke made radical changes in the way the Leafs go about their business, but they'll survive his departure in better shape than other MLSE teams.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Twenty-nine of the NHL's most promising rookies are in Toronto this weekend. Here's why they'll leave with sore hands and an enduring hatred for signing autographs.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Champions Hockey League in Europe got underway and we already have 15 games in the books. Here's a look at the Day 1 action.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 And how about this early goal of the year candidate from HC Ocelari Trinec forward Marek Troncinsky?
