We've all heard the Michael Nylander-to-Chicago trade rumors. Nylander, of course, has heard them, too. But the Caps' center said this morning that he's been through this before and he's doing his best to not allow the media reports to become a distraction. "You can't think about it too much," he said. "You just have to deal with it, go out and play. You can't pay attention to what they say in the...

When asked about Michael Nylander's status moments ago, Coach Bruce Boudreau repeated what he said this morning, "he's getting a rest."
