Hockey Notes In July

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Can we please let Auston Matthews play his second NHL season before we decide how much he’s going to be paid a year from now?

- By my count, the Vegas Golden Knights will have to move at least four NHL defenceman, maybe five, between now and the start of their first season. That’s a lot of dealing to do and a not a lot of time for GM George McPhee.

- Andrei Markov may be old, slow and now married, but he can still help most NHL teams. His contract demands, though, reminds me of a David Poile line: “I love your player at $2 million” Poile has been known to tell agents. “I hate him at $3 million.”.

- I’m a big fan of many of the writers on nhl.com. But I think Gary Bettman should be forced to get on a computer and try and negotiate himself through the boxscores and stats on the website. It’s simply unworkable.

a few more, mostly Toronto releated...
