Damian Cristodero: There is actually nothing new on Paul Ranger. A scout in Ottawa said it is one of the great mysteries around the league right now. I have spoken to several people about him and no one is willing to share what he is going through. He also has turned down several formal interview requests, so, for now, we're kind of at a dead end there. Good to hear, though, that he at least is communicating with Tocchet. Strange, indeed. tampabay.com
