Quick Hits from around the league.

  • Boston Bruins center Marc Savard tweeted Monday that he is not making progress in his recovery from post-concussion syndrome and that “there is no comeback in the foreseeable future.”
  • Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane to the growing list of stars playing overseas during the NHL lockout. Kane has agreed to a deal with EHC Biel in the Swiss League.
  • The Columbus Blue Jackets are nearing a deal that would see John Davidson hired as president of hockey operations, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
  • For 48 hours last week, the National Hockey League allowed its owners and general managers to answer questions directly from their players regarding the NHL’s latest CBA proposal. But the NHL Players Association was not informed about the window of opportunity.
  • Daniel Alfredsson is still unsure about whether he will return to the NHL once the lockout ends, according to the Ottawa Sun. ”I think the longer it’s been going here I don’t feel as eager to get back,” Alfredsson said. “”I’d say I’m more relaxed. If it happens, it happens.” Should the lockout continue through January, Alfredsson doesn’t seem totally convinced about continuing his playing career.
