A look at the season ahead from The Hockey Guy:
“The Devils organization is saddened to learn of the passing of Vladimir Bure, who spent over a decade with the organization. A former Olympic medalist in swimming, he became a pioneer in the field of athlete training for thirty years. He served as Fitness Consultant for New Jersey from 1999-2010, and had his name engraved on the Stanley Cup in 2000 and 2003. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this time.” [Devils NHL]

Leon Draisaitl’s deal is done in Edmonton. What does that mean for Connor McDavid’s next contract? “What’s obvious is that McDavid’s next contract is going to set a new high-water mark for this era of players. Even if he signed a contract set at the same percentage of the cap as his last deal, with the cap projected to reach $97 million by the first year of that new contract, that would mean a salary cap hit of $15.25 million. Consider that the absolute floor. Below the floor.” [The Athletic ($)]
