Last chance for those of you who have stocked up on Quinn Hughes and the rest of the 2021 RFA class, before they re-up with new contracts this summer. Included in that group is rookie Kirill Kaprizov, who is set for a big raise. A comparable situation led to a two-year deal for Artemi Panarin, and didn’t work [...]
The big news from Wednesday was that referee Tim Peel will not be officiating any more NHL games.

Tyler Toffoli slated to miss Montreal’s game on Monday night, which would have marked his second consecutive game out of the lineup. The guy with 18 goals in 30 games is going to be sorely missed if this persists. One of Montreal’s strengths is being able to roll out three lines that can score. If [...]
