Catching up with Marc Savard; no more offer sheets; Green to Red Wings? (Puck Headlines)

The Hawk Mobile.

Here are your Puck Headlines: A glorious collection of news and views collected from the greatest blogosphere in sports and the few, the proud, the mainstream hockey media.

• Tomas Hertl tweaked his knee at Sharks' prospect camp, which is exactly what you don't want to hear for a guy that's already had some knee problems. [CSN Bay Area]

• Jay Feaster on Marty St. Louis' departure from Tampa Bay: "It's a difficult thing. Because I appreciate the lifestyle choice. I just think it's tough when you handcuff your GM, only one place I want to go and I want to do it now as opposed to, 'Hey, let's see how far this run can go? I'm the captain of the team.' And from that perspective, if that's something that you had been thinking about, if you were thinking, 'I'm still (upset) at 2010 and I better get picked this time (for Team Canada), and I have issues with the kids and youth hockey, maybe you should say, before they pick a captain, 'I'm cool with wearing an 'A.' I think it's tough when it's your captain." [Tampa Bay Tribune]

• The Red Wings need a right-shooting defenceman. Could Mike Green be the ideal fit? [MLive]

• Ken Wiebe talks to Marc Savard, who misses the game. “I’ve been able to deal with it and move on from it, but the first couple years were really tough, especially going back to Boston. I still go back once a month to see the doctors. I miss (hockey) it, there’s no question about it. I still watch the game and keep in contact with some guys I’m still close with. I’ve always been a hockey-watcher, especially the playoffs." [Winnipeg Sun]

• The Philadelphia Flyers are getting a third jersey. What wil it be? Will it be pretty? Will it be rich? [Broad Street Hockey]
