“Preseason offers the opportunity for coaches to experiment and find out what works and what doesn’t before the games actually count. I would expect an even larger scale of trial and error from Sheldon Keefe as it’s his first camp working with every single player on the team. Let’s take a look at some combinations I’d love to see tested in a game or two over a seven-game schedule.” [Infernal Access ($)]
“Tatar doesn’t need to be a 60-point scorer as he was with the Montreal Canadiens. Those days are probably a thing of history anyway, but they need him to be better than he was with the Seattle Kraken and Colorado Avalanche last season. The question is, can Tatar rebound? Or is he in decline?” [Devils on the Rush ($)]

“So will Ovechkin hit the (goals record) mark this season? If he scores at the pace of 2023-24’s first half, he won’t. But if converts at anything close to the pace of his torrid finish, he’ll hit the mark easily in 2024-25. The NHL is aware of that strong possibility and plans to enthusiastically celebrate him when it happens, regardless of his passport.” [Daily Faceoff]
A look at the most interesting prospects around the league heading into this season: [The Athletic ($)]
Bill Daly on the question of income tax equality around the league: “There are no easy fixes. It’s not like we can just pick from Column A and fix the problem overnight. Players make decisions on where they want to play for a variety of reasons. Their bottom line is one of them, but the quality of life and the communities they live in is probably more important.” [The Athletic ($)]
