Ray Whitney didn't like the way he was utilized this season in Dallas, especially down the stretch. "The legs are still there, but it's nearly impossible to get the legs moving when you're over 40 and playing eight to 10 minutes and only on the power play," Whitney said. "After the first 10 games, I was on the second line, but the last three or four months, it was the fourth. They went with youth and they do have some good kids. I can't deny that." He will turn 42 years of age Thursday and he seems to understand that the 2013-14 campaign may have been his last. Whitney is eligible for unrestricted free agency in July, but he said: "There won't be a lot of people banging down the doors." He produced nine goals and 32 points in 69 games this past season.
