Morning Links: Another Bid for Coyotes; Prospects Stay Busy

I love summer as much as the next guy but man is it exhausting.  I used to be able to hit the beer tent and be ready to go again the next day, now I think I need a week to recover.  I have a few links for you to enjoy this morning and a more substantial post that I am working on for later this evening.  As always we will be posting any breaking news that may happen.

This is especially interesting to us regarding a recent discussions on Drew Stafford. If the RFA offer sheet is indeed extinct it would mean that the Sabres are competing with nobody but themselves. Stafford can either accept the Sabres offer or sit out the season; I'm sure he isn't prepared to sit out the season.
