Good morning.

• Added (10:08 am): As Yankee just put in the fanshots, there's a good chance Nolan Baumgartner could be the next captain for the Manitoba Moose should he not make the cut for the Canucks this fall.
• Behind the Net takes a look at how many points Henrik Sedin will have next season. Vote your conscience.
• No need to worry about what Brooks put in the NY Post last night, Darren Dreger just shot it all down: "NHL sources say no ultimatum was given to the NHLPA."  Yep, as we suspected, don't believe everything Larry Brooks writes.
  
• The Sharks have made it official that they signed Antti Niemi to a 1-year $2M contract.  Fear the Fin has plenty of reaction on the signing most of them believed wasn't going to happen because their true need was defense.
• While on the topic of Niemi, congratulations to our reader VCR Milli, who was the only one to correctly guess all 3 categories in Beantown's "Where Will Niemi End Up?" game from a month ago.  No official word yet on whether there is a prize.
• How about another story about Alexandre Bolduc and his recovery from shoulder surgery?
• Hey look, the Canucks Reports are back!  Yesterday's edition includes Milan Lucic joining the Canucks practice at UBC, a look at the spiffy new mask Eddie Lack designed, and a Q&A with Victor Oreskovich.
• In case anyone is interested, preseason tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10:00 AM PDT.  Get your tickets to see the prospects not only battle against the Flames, Ducks, Oilers or Sharks, but also against each other for the last roster spots.
• So, apparently some possibly clinically-insane woman has sent emails accusing Sidney Crosby of being a narcistic drunk sex addict.  UPDATE: The story on SBNation Pittsburgh was removed.

Open topic for today:  On the subject of narcissism, which NHL player do you think is the most narcistic?
