That means hockey is right around the corner. It’s getting close.
In the links:
A Devils legend pays homage to Ken Dryden, Pittsburgh ownership, and… well, it’s happened. The first of the 2018 Hockey Canada sexual assault acquitted has inked a contract. Not in the NHL, but he’s at least back in hockey. More on that below.
Let’s do that hockey.
Devils Trade Rumors & News
The passing of legendary goaltender Ken Dryden was sudden, and heartbreaking. Devils legend, Martin Brodeur, took to social media to send his condolences to someone he looked up to before he became a Hall-of-Fame NHLer.
I always looked up to Ken Dryden. He revolutionized the position & rose to the occasion in big moments. Beyond his greatness on the ice, he was a remarkable person, and the hockey community will miss him dearly. My condolences to the Dryden family.

The Athletic ($): Speaking of Pierre LeBrun, he sat down with New York Islanders GM, Mathieu Darche. He got into why he traded Noah Dobson, his relationship with Patrick Roy, and Anders Lee’s future.
Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Here’s what the folks at PHN are hearing about new Pittsburgh Penguins ownership, and how it could change the landscape of what GM Kyle Dubas is doing, if at all.
Montreal Hockey Now: What comes next for the Montreal Canadiens after trading Carey Price? Well, Marc Dumont explains the difference in cap space and how it accrues.
Sports Daily (Russian): According to Evgeny Kuznetsov’s agent, the Russian forward is nearing a decision, and it’s down to two teams. I’m skeptical of its legitimacy. It could be a tactic to try to draw other bidders. Or, perhaps there are a few teams really interested in bringing him back to the NHL. Check it out here, make sure your browsers translation is set to English.
Sportsnet: Alex Formenton was cleared of any wrongdoing but is still ineligible to play in the NHL, along with the other four acquitted members of the 2018 Team Canada accused of sexual assault. Instead of waiting for NHL reinstatement, Formenton signed a contract to return to his Swiss team, becoming the first to do so.
