from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
- If Johnny Gaudreau spurns the Flames’ offer to keep the explosive, electric impending free-agent winger in Calgary, it will become Lou Lamoriello’s duty to bring the south Jersey native to Long Island.
Because running it back again with only a change behind the bench from Barry Trotz to Lane Lambert won’t do for the Islanders or their general manager, whose playing personnel is also in need of a jolt.
There is surely a shot that the winger will remain in Calgary following his 40-goal, 115-point season for the contending Flames, with whom he has played the entirety of his eight-year career. Calgary is the only team that can offer him an eight-year deal....
- We are told the Blackhawks are willing to take on bad contracts accompanied by assets and that Anaheim as well seems amenable to doing the same on a shorter-term basis.
The perpetual ne’er-do-well Coyotes are always open for that type of business.
- Finally, Alexander Mogilny did not fail to be elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee failed Alexander Mogilny.
