Business is about to pick up.

Asking a player to waive his no-movement clause is disrespectful. It's either an agreement an organization made with the player, or it was a known entity when the player was acquired by the organization. No player should be looked upon negatively for declining to opt out of a contract stipulation.

The NHL isn't looking out for the players. These are billionaire owners and the regard for player safety is atrocious. These athletes are paid well, but how many leave the game with permanent health ailments or lifelong injuries?

Teams opting not to ask players to waive their contract agreements should be praised — not disparaged. And any player that decides not to waive his no-movement clause shouldn't be run over the coals.

Minnesota is handling this the right way — keep it out of the news.

Finding a perfect balance of shot attempts and shot quality is the secret to long-standing success in the NHL. Pittsburgh was outshot throughout the playoffs, and especially during the finals, but the Penguins just hoisted their second consecutive Stanley Cup.

Here's an interesting read about how the Penguins won despite losing the possession battle. The particular focus was Pittsburgh's lack of shots from the point compared to their attempts in the high-danger area in front of the net. I recently touched on this fallacy of #fancystats in a Ramblings about the Minnesota-St. Louis first-round matchup.

As fantasy players, we want players who are driving possession, but they also need to be generating high-danger chances. Corsi considers all shot attempts equal, but we all know they're not.

Additionally, this was an interesting note to pull from the article:

"During the playoffs, Pittsburgh attempted 127 shots off backhands, deflections, tip-ins and wrap arounds, 38 more than Nashville. That difference was almost entirely created in the Stanley Cup Finals, where the Penguins attempted 32 shots in this fashion, scoring six times compared to the Predators’ two."

Those non-traditional shots made a huge difference, and if you think about it, it's pretty rare to see an even-strength goal where a shooter just beats the goalie. It just doesn't happen often.

The Bruins didn't ask any of their four players with no-movement clauses to waive them leading into the Monday deadline to do so. It leaves the Bruins with four forwards, two defensemen and a goalie to protect. Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak, Torey Krug and Tuukka Rask are locks, and Boston has another two forwards and a defenseman to protect.

Who are they?

Adam McQuaid or Colin Miller?

Which two of Ryan Spooner, Matt Beleskey or Riley Nash?

Boston is interesting because they're top heavy with solid players and a capable goaltender, and the Bruins have some assets to make a move. Bruins insider Joe Haggerty expects Boston to trade for a winger or defenseman, as opposed to address the two obvious holes through free agency.

Of course, Haggerty recently touted Anders Bjork as a potential top-six fix. The insider also highlights Spooner as a trade candidate in the linked video.

The Bruins are set to be a major player over the coming weeks.

Marc-Andre Fleury waived his no-movement clause earlier this season, and it's almost now a guarantee that Sunday's game was his last with the Penguins.

His landing spot will need to be determined before his fantasy value can be accurately projected, but there certainly is a nice floor considering he should see a significant workload. Even if he is on a weak team, he could still provide value in the wins and save percentage columns.

Fleury wasn't great this past season with a .909 save percentage and 3.02 goals-against average, but he had been rock solid in each of the previous three years. In fact, from 2013-14 through 2015-16, Fleury was one of just 10 goalies with at least 150 games played and a .919 save percentage. He also posted a ninth-ranked .926 five-on-five save percentage among all netminders with at least 7,500 minutes played during that timeframe.

Looking ahead, he's probably more serviceable than solid, but being the unquestioned No. 1 should help his fantasy value. A rebound campaign is well within reach, too.

It's tough not to be impressed with Fleury's professionalism over the past year.

"I think we did a good job together to win this Cup," Fleury said. "Matt is the goalie of the future for this team, I think it was important for him to celebrate tonight."

TSN has a trade-bait board out, and there are a few surprises.

Travis Hamonic ranked sixth stands out. He re-upped with the Islanders and has three years remaining on his deal. Trading the 26-year-old defenseman would also be a sign of moving in another direction, and that wouldn't align with trying to be a contending team that John Tavares wants to stick with. Obviously, Hamonic had requested a trade in the past, so perhaps that's still the angle.

Boone Jenner doesn't make sense at all. He's an assistant captain that is a restricted free agent at the end of the 2017-18 campaign, and he's just entering his prime. Here's what I said about Jenner earlier this spring.

Jonathan Drouin continues to pop up in trade rumors, and it makes absolutely no sense. He's one of just 22 players aged 21 or younger to post a 20-goal, 50-point campaign since the lockout-shortened season and owns endless offensive potential. I discussed Drouin in depth earlier this spring, too. There is no doubt about his talent and fantasy upside, it's just a crowded forward corps in Tampa, and he's going to be one of the most heavily inked breakout candidates leading into draft season. Drouin is going to be overvalued in a lot of fantasy circles next fall.

***

Ottawa asked Dion Phaneuf to waive his no-move clause Monday. I don't see how Marc Methot is a significant upgrade over Phaneuf, so it's clearly salary related. In fantasy, Phaneuf is an excellent supporting piece for blue lines because of his cross-category profile. After all, he was just one of two defensemen with five goals, 30 points, 100 PIM and 150 shots last year.

***

Another player I've touched on a few times already this spring is Jordan Weal. It appears that he's close to inking a new deal with the Flyers. He should earn a top-six role next season and after posting 58 goals and 186 points over 192 AHL games the past three seasons, Weal is a ripe late-round target this fall. Here is a little more detail from a previous Ramblings.

***

The Panthers did not ask Keith Yandle to waive his no-move clause, and Scott Hartnell wasn't asked to waive his no-move clause by the Blue Jackets, either.

Buckle up, Dobberheads. The next two weeks are going to be a blast.
