Wayne Gretzky envisions Jokinen, Doan and Mueller as linemates. This is bad news for Turris owners, who anticipated that he would be in that middle spot. As such, Turris may fall short of 55-60 points as a rookie.
The Coyotes gave up their No.90 pick to the Rangers for Alex Bourret. Bourret is coming off another poor year, but can be a powerful second-line winger if the Coyotes can get him going. It won't be this year, though.

Ray Emery cleared waivers and will now be bought out by the Sens.
