He had the procedure a couple of weeks ago in Toronto and the 71-year-old Bassin, who is the managing partner and GM of the OHL’s Erie Otters, now is recuperating at home in Oshawa. . . . Bassin also has had both hips replaced. . . . Bassin told Victor Fernandes of the Erie Times-News that he plans on being in Erie when the Otters open camp on Aug. 30. “I told the players I want to go a couple of rounds,” Bassin told Fernandes. “We’ll find out how tough they are. I’m going to fake with my right (hand) and go with my left.”
