Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn continues his rehab from offeseason hip surgery.

THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS: Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn’s rehab from offseason hip surgery has begun. The 2015 Art Ross Trophy winner said he started skating last week, but will ensure he doesn’t rush his recovery. Benn believes he’ll be fully recovered when the regular season begins on Oct. 8.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: New Blackhawks winger Marko Dano hopes to emulate new teammate and fellow Slovakian Marian Hossa, who already called Dano to welcome him to his new club.

THE TENNESSEAN: The Nashville Predators traded forward Taylor Beck to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for minor-league forward Jamie Devane. Beck filed for salary arbitration earlier this month, and uncertainty over his place on the Predators roster next season may be the reason behind the trade.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: I was under the impression players who filed for salary arbitration couldn’t be traded. Evidently, that’s not the case. 

NEWSDAY: New York Islanders prospect Andong  Song, selected in the sixth round of the 2015 NHL Draft, is a symbol of hockey’s growth in China.

THE BOSTON GLOBE: Amalie Benjamin profiles Damian Echevarrieta, the NHL’s senior director of hockey operations.

    i think it’s ok to make the move because there hadn’t be a date set…i think it that grey area between election to arbitrate and a set date for arbitrate…there was a deadline date on saturday i know so i’m sure that factored into it…i’m sure somebody could look up the cba and explain it clearly lol

    I believe it only applies if it is the team who files for arbitration , not the player

        The ” contact” link on your website is not working. In addition, I get a home page with a column from November 2012 using Firefox

        You might still have the old URL with /blog at the end. Remove that from the url and it should work fine.

        Thank you Lyle. That worked. However, your “contact” link is still not working. I have tried on multiple computers and browsers
