The NHL Board of Governors had a call on Thursday afternoon but there wasn’t a lot of traction. This was not a call to offer a proposal to the players, but rather a call to start sorting out the affairs on the side of the owners before they send a proposal to the players. There [...]
Boston coach Bruce Cassidy did an interview at NHL.com yesterday and Amalie Benjamin had the salient points of his presser. The most important part was probably the update on Marchand and Pastrnak. Both are still on schedule for their returns - mid-January and mid-February, respectively. That there have been no setbacks (yet) is a good [...]
The Jets signed their first-round pick, Cole Perfetti, to a three-year ELC with an AAV of about $1.6M. Perfetti is hopefully the 2C of the future they’ll need to play behind Mark Scheifele. Despite a lot of talk around Quinton Byfield, Marco Rossi, and Tim Stuetzle, let’s remember that if any of them step into [...]
Ryan Pulock was re-signed by the Islanders to a two-year deal, carrying an average annual value of $5M. As mentioned in that linked tweet by Arthur Staple, this opens a second buyout window for the Islanders.

Chris Tierney has signed a two-year deal with the Sens carrying an AAV of $3.5M. It is noteworthy because the team could be going into the season with an unproven Colin White as their 1C. It is far from a lock that White is the top-line centre all year. We saw what J-G Pageau did [...]
There was a video conference with Montreal coach Claude Julien. Early on, John Lu from TSN tweeted that Julien had lost weight and started some lifestyle changes following his cardiac event a couple months ago. That is great news and best wishes to Julien. The second salient point, which is important for fantasy hockey, is [...]
The Flames added some forward depth on Tuesday by signing forward Dominik Simon to a one-year contract worth $700k. He had 22 points in 64 games last year with Pittsburgh, and 28 points in 71 games the year before with that same franchise. He turned 26 in August and will still be RFA at the [...]
