On Parenteau:
"No one likes uncertainty," he said. "It's between Allan [Walsh, Parenteau's agent] and Garth [Snow, Isles general manager] and hopefully, they can figure out something that's good for both of us. I'm in a pretty good position right now and I want to keep what we're building here. It's going to be something special."


Tavares not stopping:
After his 80-point season, John Tavares accepted an invitation from Team Canada to play in the upcoming World Championships in Helsinki and Stockholm. Also headed to play in the tournament May 4 are Kyle Okposo (United States), Frans Nielsen (Denmark) and Milan Jurcina (Slovakia). Snow has given the OK for Nino Niederreiter to play for Switzerland, and countryman Mark Streit might join up, as well.


DP not concerned:
Rick DiPietro said his main goal -- the same as it's been for four straight offseasons now -- is to be healthy and ready for training camp. There could be an amnesty buyout period in a new collective-bargaining, and he knows the nine years remaining on his 15-year, $67.5-million deal would be ripe for such a buyout, but there's no reason for him to speculate.

Of course, there isn't. Who is Wang going to go to the JZ concert with at the Barclays with if he buys him out?
