from Andrew Gross of Newsday,
“You know how big it is,” Lamoriello told Newsday on Thursday. “Without a new arena, there would not be the Islanders on Long Island. I think that says it all.”
Lamoriello was able to re-sign the team’s key unrestricted free agents this offseason except for goalie Robin Lehner and third-line center Valtteri Filppula. The previous summer, former captain John Tavares left for his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs for a seven-year, $77 million deal that was less than the Islanders offered.
The Islanders will continue to split games between NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum and Barclays Center in Brooklyn for a second straight season. Their new building is scheduled to open for the 2021-22 season and Lamoriello knows uncertainty about the Islanders’ arena situation was a factor when talking to free agents.
“I think that’s always something behind someone’s mind, including our own free agents,” Lamoriello said. “But they have the confidence in believing in our ownership’s commitment to getting the arena.”

from Chris Johnston of Sportsnet,
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly says he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the direction of collective bargaining talks with the NHL Players’ Association and believes the sides are committed to staging the next World Cup in February 2021 if they can extend or renew the current agreement before it expires.
The league and players have met regularly throughout the summer and are due to sit down together again next week. The discussions are being held with each side facing a decision inside the next month about whether to trigger an early termination to the current CBA.
However, it remains to be seen if either will pursue the reopener option at a time when there appears to be much more labour harmony than strife.
“The general state of things, there seems to be a lot of agreement on,” Daly told Sportsnet during the NHL’s European player media tour. “It’s very kind of amorphous right now but there doesn’t seem to be like a huge sticking point on the issues we’ve talked about. I think there’s general agreement kind of directionally. Where we should be going.
“I think both sides have been open that the agreement’s not a perfect agreement and could be improved, but nobody’s holding out for a home run.”

If Joe and Patty sign for peanuts and Dougie can acquire another piece with the left over... It's hard not to be optimistic for this season. Granted a guy or two from the Cuda make a case to stay in the big club. Let’s say they sign Patty and Jumbo for a good team deal and I for one think they will. They are overall weaker than the team the had last season. Braun and Pavs are not replaced and Patty is an upgrade from the Donkey. The big question is the health of the team entering the postseason because this just can’t be overlooked last season. I think having a healthy Karlsson will make up for the loss of Braun and Pavelski on the offensive side. I do think that Burns' offensive numbers may dip because he will no longer be getting assists on goals that Pavs redirected into the net. Having Boughner back to run the D pairs will also lead to a better defensive team because last year it was terrible to start the season and only improved marginally by the end of the season. |

I suspect that neither Thornton or Marleau have signed with the Sharks yet because DW is waiting to see if he can bring in another bottom 6 forward through either free agency or a trade from a team clearing cap space to sign an RFA. Once that is accomplished they will know more what is left on the books to offer Jumbo and Marleau.

I think Dougie is gonna offer sheet one of them and break the logjam. That should really shake things up |

Winnipeg Jets RFA Patrik Laine says that there has been almost no dialogue between himself and the club and he is unsure where he stands in the team’s future.
"Well you never know. It’s still business...but yeah, you never know where you’re going to play next year so I’m just prepared for anything."

But Patty is a team player, he’s in Marner’s ear right now and has already planted the seeds so that when Matthews is up, he’ll be done with the TO circus and will fly coach to SJ to sign at a bargain rate to help the Sharks to their 5th cup in 4 years. |

If the Sharks got Hjalmerson instead of the sloth. I feel like Dougie has somthing up his sleeve. I agree that he is going to pick up another forward and sign Jumbo and Patty with the scraps(plus performance bonuses). He could pull out another fleaceing (i.e. Hoffman/Karl) from somewhere. But the hole Marner thing needs to get resolved, for every teams sake. |

Seems insane this late in the off season. Yes, not to mention the plethora (not even including Jumbo and Patty) free agents out there right now. If this had happened in 21-22, Seattle wouldn't even need a draft, could field a decent team with the FAs. On a side note if Seattle doesn't select Kraken as their name... they don't deserve the franchise lol. |

The key here is a heathy EK65. Hopefully we get one. |

Yeah but at least Pavs will keep from taking a puck to the face. |

He didn't get drafted as high because he got into a very visible argument with his coach on the bench during a game. Maybe he is one of those cocky asshole types who thinks he is the best player on the ice and knows more than the coaches. |

IMO, he's got to pull it up to at least .910 before those pads will look cool. More stops, less bling.
and tempting the best shooters in the world with a shark-mouth five hole frankly has me concerned.

It will only be for the stealth jersey nights. Pang was thinking of how much net shooters could see when his tiny ass was in the net.  |

I think the plans are for him to play for the Barracuda this year which makes the Peterborough trade efforts somewhat bizarre. |

DENVER – The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has signed forward Valeri Nichushkin to a one-year contract for the upcoming 2019-20 season.
Nichushkin, 24, played his fourth NHL season with the Dallas Stars in 2018-19 where he tallied 10 points (0g/10a) in 57 games. The right wing has registered 74 points (23g/51a) in 223 career NHL regular-season contests and has recorded three points (1g/2a) in 17 career games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Stars’ first pick in the first round of the 2013 NHL Draft (10th overall), Nichushkin has also appeared in five career contests (0g/4a) with Dallas’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Texas Stars, and has dressed in 104 career KHL games (31g/26a) in Russia with Traktor Chelyabinsk and CSKA Moscow. The Chelyabinsk, Russia, native has registered 23 points (10g/13a) in 53 career KHL postseason contests.
“Valeri is a big, young winger who adds depth to our roster and brings competition to our training camp,” said Avalanche Executive Vice President / General Manager Joe Sakic. “He brings NHL experience to our team and we are excited to have him with our organization.”
