A formal announcement could come within the next few days.A return to form last season helped the Rangers return to the playoffs, where an injury to his shoulder in the first round made their appearance a short one. Jagr hopes his health and the health of the important players around him will result in a second-straight appearance."If we don't have any important guys injured throughout the year, I think we're gonna make it," he said.Three Kings in crowded netThe Los Angeles Kings open training camp in the envious (depending on who you ask) position of having three No. 1 goaltenders: Dan Cloutier, Mathieu Garon and Jason LaBarbera.According to the LAtimes.com, the pecking order is unofficially set at Cloutier, Garon, LaBarbera."I pretty much expected to be traded and Vancouver did a good job of getting it down quickly," said Cloutier, adding that he had fully recovered from the surgery. "I've learned that, sooner or later, they are going to bring someone in to try to take your job."Garon played in 63 games last season and won 31, third-most in Kings history, but his sporadic play down the stretch led to another spring without playoff hockey in Hollywood.Morrison not 100 per centOne of they cogs in the Canucks machine is still not completely ready for battle as training camp opens in Vancouver.Brendan Morrison's surgically repaired hip still isn't quite right four months after undergoing surgery and he is faced with a very unusual problem -- he may have to miss a practice or two."I think I've only ever missed two practices in my career so this injury is new to me," Morrison told The Vancouver Province. "I said [to Vigneault], 'I'll be honest with you guys, if I'm sore and I feel that I need a day here or there then I'll be honest and tell you.' I don't want to miss any time but if that's the case then we'll have to take that approach.Morrison said it may be another couple of months before he will no longer feel the pain of his hip injury.Penguins going Canadian?A newspaper in Pittsburgh is reporting the favourite in the race to purchase the Pittsburgh Penguins has emerged from north of the border.Jim Balsillie, chairman and co-CEO of Research in Motion, a company based in Waterloo, is the leading the chase to take control of the Penguins' franchise according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.Balsillie nearly signed a letter of intent to buy the team in July but decided against it when he realized how difficult it would be to move the franchise to Hamilton.It still isn't clear whether Balsillie will try to move the Penguins if he does take control of the ailing franchise.</blockquote>
