News
Nylander signs for $11.5/season - 13.7% of capComparables - McDavid 16.7% (when signed)
Auston Matthews - 15.87%
Nathan MacKinnon - 15.27%
Big Extensions coming - how does Nylander affect-
Sam Reinhart ($6.5MM)- UFA at end of season
Elias Petterson ($7.35MM)- RFA at end of season
Leon Draisaitl - ($8.5) 1 more year - can sign July 1
2. Cutter Gauthier traded for Jamie Drysdale
What happened? -
- was all in to be drafted by Flyers july 2022
- Totorella already coach
-March 2023, Fletcher fired, Briere hired
- after season ended (basically same time) Gauthier wanted to finish season with Flyers
- shortly after, said he didnât want to be a Flyer
3. Borje series- episodes 1 & 2 review
4. PWHL - Minnesota leads the league 3-0 - seem to be the team to beat
Montreal - 2-1
Ottawa 1-0
5. Rumours - Markstrom to Carolina? pure speculation but makes sense - .910 SV%
Calgary have some good players and sounds like they will be sellers
Lindholm - UFA
Hanifin - UFA
Tanev -UFA
All Star Sweaters - ugh
6. #81 Linesman - brutal - Ryan Daisy - lined game between Edmonton and Montreal
7. Double digit points streaks - 14 for McDavid - ties Lemieux. Next is Lafleur 15. Gretzky -31

DOPeS - heard people saying Cousins leapt into boards to embellish on Zucker hit. Watched again. No chance. 3 games was way too little. Borderline Hunter hitting Turgeon for 20 games. NHL âwhile Zucker insists this wasnât retributionâ. Why say that - there is no chance it wasnât.

USA wins gold 6-2
Czechia over Finland - 8-5 - Fins were up 5-2. Chechia tied with 2 min left, then lead goal with 1:14.
Oilers - Zach Hyman with 3rd hattrick of season 25 on season
continue to roll but fans are a bit too comfortable. After going 14-3 in last 17, still only 22nd in league in Pts %
Talking like they could win all 11 games in Jan - really?
Norris talk for Bouchard - really? Is he even better than Ekholm?
Leafs - talk seems negative, but 19-10-7 despite injuries.
PWHL - will you pick a favourite team?
Toronto pays back NY with a win - new rule comes into play as game winner was shorthanded
Have to think Montreal is favourite with Poulin and Desbiens
All games on Sportsnet, TSN or CBC. Also on Youtube. Americans can watch on different regional networks.

Team of the Week
Tampa Bay - xGF% 48.98 - 44.78
Should expect some improvement, but not good enough
SF% 48.37 (21) GF% 44.78% (29) xGF% 48.97 (19) SV% 90.24 (26) SH% 8.45 (15)
Vasilevskiy .902 after injury - expect that to improve
Kucherov - 50pts, 1st in league
Depth?
Hagel-Point-Kucherov - most TOI - dominant stats 62% GF
Anyone plays with Kucherov - stats are over 50%
Without, almost everyone below.
BucPower - turnovers like crazy - via Statmuse.com TBL are 9th in league in GVA with 250
League leaders- CHI, MTL, EDM, NSH, TOR
Kucherov leads league with 41. (Draisaitl next with 37)
D Pairs
Hedman / Perbix - 231:58 - xGF 41% GF% 52
Cernak / Sergachaev - 218:15 - xGF 47.9% GF% 42
Raddysh / Sergachaev - 217:36 xGF 55.6 GF 20%
Of all regular 6 D, Hedman is only one with +50% GF
Summary - I think depth is the story. Kucherov is pushing the river but supporting cast is weak
Need Vasilievskiy to save them
