According to TSN, John Tavares hopes that the NHL and the NHLPA will let him enter the 2008 Entry Draft. Tavares's agent, Bryan Deasley, says he has spoken with NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and Players' Association associate counsels Ian Penny and Stu Grimson about the possible creation of an exceptional player clause that would allow certain players to be drafted a year early, a clause similiar to the one that allowed Tavares to play as a 15 year old in the CHL. ''That's why we would look at other options, being Europe, if we feel that and we see that his development is not progressing to the point where it should be.'' Deasley added. Source
Teemu Selanne has returned to California from Finland and should be making his decision this week. The Anaheim Ducks training camp starts one week earlier than most clubs because of their game in London.
