Friedman, wordsmith and deep thinker: I get the sense that, and this is just from talking to people in and around the situation, some of whom I've known for a long time, I get the sense that, the biggest thing, for Connor McDavid, is not money. He'll get paid a lot, a huge number, and he will deserve every penny of it. and more, in my opinion. BUT

But I had some people tell me not to go there.

I've got a couple of Selanne specific shirts myself still, though not as cool as that one. The one commemorating his rookie goal record is pretty great -- l'll snap a pic later today if I remember

Rangers are sending the PNES their 12th overall pick this year and keeping next year's pick.
I'm trying to think of how this'll affect who's available for the Wings. My gut is that the PNES won't take two D (Aitcheson and Smith, for instance). Do they take one and Eklund? That seems more plausible.
I'd gotten too comfortable with the sense that Eklund would make it to them.

I have zero idea what is happening with the draft and realized the Wild don’t have a first rounder

Everybody after pick 18 or so feels like a normal second rounder, and everyone slated for the second round feels like a 3rd rounder most years. I don't know if Jiricek pans out, but it's a good bet vs. this draft.

Rumors that Vegas will dump Hertl on Carolina (who, to be fair, really need him) so they have room for Marner

according to sources on HF Leafs, Glass and Kostin won't get a QO from Vegas, Rossi is unhappy in Minny. I want at least 2 of these players please

Cody Glass is on the Devils and Kostin is on the Sharks
Rossi definitely available but I do not understand how they’ll improve their team by moving him

turns out kostin never played for vegas, I had him mixed up with the guy who broke Tkachuk's mid-bones o3 finals ago. Glass has apparently played for the 3 teams since being in Vegas. anyway, I hope I get an interview for one of the assistant GM jobs I applied for
