What’s it like when an NHL player gets sent down? From living in a hotel and eating out “every night,” to the 10x salary cut and the “weird dynamic” of competing with your teammates for a call-up, 11 players open up about the human experience: theathletic.com/4106315/2023/1…

The way NHL teams and players do business is completely changing, from the RFA market all the way to trade strategy. Here are 5 big changes to pay attention to: nytimes.com/athletic/74488…

Thank you, Canada ❤️ #CANMNT

Regardless of how this plays out, this is a total "actions have consequences" comeuppance for Pat Verbeek, after years of nickel and diming his good players in negotiations and lowballing them. And I love when the universe once in a while spits out a truly just result.

From Ivan Demidov to Jacob Trouba, a look at the best and worst deals of the day. nytimes.com/athletic/74142…

The Marcus Pettersson trade is a huge win for the #Canucks. For the Rangers, it's a misguided read on their competitive cycle, a move that further locks them into being mid Trade grades: nytimes.com/athletic/74142…

General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the #Canucks have agreed to terms with defenceman Jamie Oleksiak on a two-year contract worth $5M AAV. DETAILS | vancanucks.co/4xUEUXX

2030 first-rounder (top-10 protected)

According to multiple sources the Marcus Pettersson trade is for a draft pick down the line, no players coming back to VAN in the deal. #Canucks

The Darnell Nurse trade is a risky, unnecessary gamble for the Sharks. It won't hurt them now, but it could create cap problems down the road. Trade grades: nytimes.com/athletic/74139…

Vancouver and the Rangers are working on a Marcus Pettersson deal

Bobrovsky underperformed D environment in 6 of 7 seasons in Florida and his -47.7 GSAE in that time is NHL worst but “Playoff Bob” was obviously another story, with positive adjusted SV% each of past 3 runs to Final: +1.4% in 2023, +1.3% in ‘24 and +0.6 in ‘25 with 2 Stanley Cups

Sissons is a 4C who scored 11 points in 66 GP. He's now a $4.25M AAV player. Pettersson, at $11.6M, is obviously still overpaid, but this contract won't look nearly as poisonous with the rising cap. Curious what that'll mean for his potential trade value x.com/FriedgeHNIC/st…

The Rasmus Andersson contract was always going to be risky. Maybe he finds his game in Vegas. Maybe he brings more of the same inconsistent play. Not ideal on this big of a contract. Contract grades with @harmandayal2 nytimes.com/athletic/74099…

Love this x.com/Canucks/status…

@TB_9192 If he has a good year, perhaps something similar to the 3rd round pick that Cole Smith went for

@harmandayal2 What asset could they get at the deadline?

Pretty good deal considering some of the steep prices that even 4th liners are going for today x.com/Canucks/status…
