If you were to speculate, what do think will happen with Oettinger and Robertson? I'm thinking they will have to bridge deal at least one of them and use Pavelski's cap space next season to keep them both.

Re-Signing Oettinger and Robertson Taking an Alarming Amount of Time - Dallas Sports Nation
The Dallas Stars need to re-sign both Jason Robertson and Jake Oettinger by any means necessary or their future is in jeopardy.

Ok, but what would you speculate is the most likely outcome?

Oettinger resigns 3yx4m. I imagine consequently the Robertson dossier will see some development.
3 more years for Sullivan as well in PIT. I guess they really are doubling down on the aging core.

Sullivan? I figured that dude overstayed his welcome quite some time back, wow
Historical precedent says he'll be fired before the end of the contract, so should be interesting
My biggest concerns right now are the age of the team and DeSmith, as he really needs to step up and be a reliable backup so the Pens don't have to ride Jarry as hard this season. DeSmith struggling and not playing a decent number of games was a big problem last season as Jarry just looked fatigued by the end of the season prior to getting injured.

Well lets just say I'm on the exact opposite side of the Pittsburgh fence, if you catch my drift... so i wish them the best of luck, as long as it's all bad

Glad they got Oettinger signed. Assuming they send Khudobin (or Wedgewood) to the AHL they've got around 7.5mil to sign Robertson with.

I'm concerned with the Kuemper signing. We have good D men but not like the Avs do. I feel a little buyer's remorse in GMBM's future

Nick Suzuki has been named the new captain of the Habs, with Gallagher and Edmundson still being the assistant.
This basically means that we traded a former captain (Max Paccioretty) for the future one.

Youngest in team history, too. The kid looks like the real deal.

Prospect tournament tonight gave us our first good look at Slafkovsky. We already knew he was a monster, but he recently weighed in at 238 lbs, making him already the 5th heaviest amongst all NHL players (at only 18 years old!). To illustrate this, check this clip from tonight... comes up the wing, hits the hash marks and cuts to the middle, opposing player comes in for the Scott Stevens hit and Slaf barely even budges
I very much liked Owen Beck after hearing him in post-draft interviews and was pleased with what I saw in tonight's highlights. I am confident he has what it takes to be an NHL regular.

PK Subban and Zdeno Chara both announced that they are retiring.
Fun fact: with Chara's retirement, it also means that no active players ever played in a Playoff's second round agains't the Leaf anymore.

Yeah Subban is a legend in his own mind and refused to take a pay cut... not surprising nobody wanted to pay him given his level of play. He'll be a commentator somewhere probably for the new season.
