Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremonies will take place in Toronto beginning this weekend and the question that's got everybody abuzz in hockey circles right now is, will he or won't he? Will Wayne Gretzky attend with his wife Janet when the careers of five of his closest friends in hockey are honored? Or will he sit it out, part of his lingering discontent with the NHL over how shabbily he was treated during the Phoenix Coyotes bankruptcy hearings by the league he helped put on the map in the first place?

It's only Day 2 of life with Phil Kessel in the Maple Leafs lineup, and already it appears he'll be taking on a new linemate in Toronto's next game in Carolina on Friday. Acknowledging he doesn't have a wealth of sharp shooters, Leafs head coach Ron Wilson said after practice on Wednesday that he feels center John Mitchell -- who has no goals and five assists in 13 games this season -- could mesh well with his new star.
