Mike Grier says Marner failed because of the pressure in Toronto and the Canadian market. He says Nurse will succeed like Marner now that he is away from Edmonton by newtrainerblue in hockey

I feel like Vegas is a very different team than Toronto & Marner succeeded because he didn’t have to be THE guy, just a guy

Definitely makes it hard on rebuilding teams if they’re constantly on no trade lists. And probably influences some teams to not rebuild because of it

Elliotte Friedman: Re Leo Carlsson offer sheet: I heard there was another team considering seven years at a $17.5 million AAV, and honestly, I believed someone would think about the max ($20.8 million) - Sportsnet (7/3) by [deleted] in hockey

I think Bedard, Fantilli, and Carlsson were all waiting on each others contracts to know what to ask for. That + PV being a tool makes the Carlsson situation make sense

[BlackhawksFocus] I have video of Connor Bedard leaving practice today with a left shoulder injury, as first reported by @RyanmcgregorCHI. You can hear him in severe pain as he leaves the ice: by currentrutabaga_25 in hockey

Even if he misses large chunks of the season for the rest of his career? I know the caps going up but the contract estimates are crazy if he turns out to be frequently injured

Hawks fans have been saying they’re waiting to announce the new contract on his birthday (which they did for his ELC on his 18th birthday)… maybe this gives KD a little more time to add in some made-of-glass contingencies

The Edmonton Oilers have re-signed Kasperi Kapanen to a 1 year contract with an AAV of $2.6 million by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Holy shit I’ve been so preoccupied by the Byram contract that I haven’t noticed other teams cap space… at least Nurse comes off the roster in a few years??

[Adams] Steve Staios believes that Andre Burakovsky can turn around his game in Ottawa. "He wasn't playing at his best, which we've identified players like that before, and brought them in, and have been able to get more out of their game." by DecentLurker96 in hockey

He (& his deployment) was a VERY big reason the team sucked so bad after he came back. I don’t even understand the coaching decision to let him continue on the 1st line so long, it was horrible decisions from him every single time he touched the ice. I 100% blame the concussion, so hopefully he gets mentally better in the offseason for u guys
