Little bit of NHL free agent news...

Mike Modano will reportedly accept the Red Wings 1 year, $1.25 mill offer for the coming season.

Chicago passes on Antii Niemi, after salary arbitration awarded him $2.75 mill for the coming season. Instead, they'll sign Marty Turco to a 1 year, $1.3 mill contract.

Officially using the Huddle as a link dump: sportsnet's LI5T has a handful of commercial advertisements by celebrity athletes. In response to this stupidly hilarious endorsement deal for Kenny $&%ing Powers (NSFW).

Related to the ads, I sold a pair of the Magic Johnson Converse Weapons for $100 years after I wore them in HS. Oddly, I sure wish I hadn't. They were dope.
