ASSOCIATED PRESS:
The Florida Panthers are the first NHL team, and perhaps the first U.S. Major sports team, to establish an opportunity for college athletes to align with them as part of recent rules changes allowing those athletes to profit off their name and celebrity.

I think the NHL has over-expanded as it is, but they could have picked a worse city than Seattle, and I love the Kraken’s logo.
Best of luck to them.

Yup. Would have just rather seen them stay at 30 teams and move consistently shit markets.
30? There should be more like 24.

"Well I mean, you don’t agree, but again you don’t have a rebuttal. Just calling it awful, horrendous, absurd, etc.
If you have a good point to make, make it. Otherwise, have a little maturity to have a conversation. You disagree, tell me why. If you don’t care to talk about the subject or bother making an effort why even comment in the first place?"
@DiggityDog My guy, not only did you respond to my first rebuttal, I posted multiple times why I thought it was absurd.

Wow that's a lot happening in just 10 days
Very unfair to Sweeney, he's only been on the job 62 months.
definitely.
they should also find a way to make the regular season meaningful. like the NFL does.
Like adding in first round byes. or 5 home games to 2. instead of 4 and 3. etc

be interesting to see if the NHL schedules the Bs to play Van/Sea on the same trip consistently. Like it makes 100% sense to do that, but we're discussing the NHL, so

"July 18 - Exclusive negotiating period for Seattle with UFA's RFA's not protected"
So, for example, if Krecji doesn't sign by then, SEA has a period in which only they can try to sign him?
Not sure if that is great or not. I would imagine the players want the teams to have a bidding war on them.
Bah, nevermind.

Doesn’t the NHL usually do two western trips?
One that hits LA, ANA, and SJ. The other that hits VAN, EDM, CGY and WPG? I’d assume that SEA is added to California trip.
Five NHL teams with decisions to make this offseason
Boston Bruins
The goaltending situation remains the big question. Tuukka Rask is an unrestricted free agent. He’s said numerous times he doesn’t want to play anywhere but Boston. The Bruins have the cap space to get it done.
Rask is going to miss the start of the season, though, likely until at least January. Jeremy Swayman had a good showing when he started, but it’s a risk to assume he can just slide in and be the long-term starter. Jaroslav Halak is also a free agent, and could be a solid backup option for Swayman while they wait for Rask to be ready.
Then there’s Dan Vladar, who has been waiting in the wings of Providence as well. Swayman’s emergence was earlier than anticipated, so perhaps they rely more heavily on Vladar.
Rask’s future is the big question mark. They have others; there’s what to do with David Krejci, who similarly expressed a desire to stay un Boston. Then there’s Taylor Hall, their acquisition at the trade deadline who had chemistry with Krejci.

Most nights, I liked what I saw from both Swayman and Vladar, so if they decide to go with youth til Rask returns (assuming they sign him), I'm ok with that.
rask wants to stay in boston
hall wants to stay in boston
krejci wants to stay in boston
( so they all say )
will $$$$ have a say
if not Don Sweeney has a big advantage over alot of other GM'S with his UFA'S.

Since 2017 they have grouped Arizona, Vegas and Colorado as well. Anaheim and LA always seem to be back to back.

So Kucherov just inked an endorsement with Bud Light. Wonder if in the next few days the 2021 Lightning make the 2018 Caps look like lightweights?
