For the most part, yeah. Looking at CapFriendly for last season, you can see there's a few players who had PTOs and ended up signing deals. Most prominent one last year was Kris Versteeg.

Normally, yes. But the Pens 3rd and 4th line center options actually leave McClement in the conversation.

I've come to accept the fact that the Bruins are going to give Pastrnak a bridge deal and 2 years from now he's gonna get 11mil a year because Sweeney is a retard.

I think Zacha may in fact suck but we'll see. He's like Bobby Holik without the edge. Quenneville looks pretty good though. Zacha really should have been in the AHL last year and looked shell shocked most of the year. They should probably give McLeod a full season there.

Matt Hendricks is a very good character guy and a shootout specalist, "excellent leader" as Dreger puts it. Just ignore the non-shootout hockey playing part.

September 22nd was the date I saw for the jerseys being released, I would expect to start seeing gear around then.

Once the preseason starts, merchandise will have to be available for preseason games and things like that.

They should just give him exactly what Draisaitl got. That's perfectly fine to me.

I'm a homer, admittedly, but imo Pastrnak is going to be a Rocket Richard contender every year for the foreseeable future and the Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak line is so dominant it's hard to believe. The Bruins should not be playing hardball with the kid.

Connor Brown should fire his agent immediately and hire Hyman's. I mean sure Hyman's deal probably covers some UFA years but who loving cares about Zach Hyman hitting UFA exactly?

Also, if anyone needed another sign that NHL GMs are refusing to use offer sheets for fear of getting kicked out of the old boy's club, here you go. Don't tell me Brown isn't worth 3M and a second round pick.
