The Sharks got better on defense today, BUT paying Trouba and Nurse a combined $17.5 million could prohibit other upgrades over the next few years, especially after Macklin Celebrini gets a bag and a half next season.

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

Good offseason for the Sharks. But this contract is tough. Who exactly was San Jose bidding against?

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Jacob Trouba 4 x $8.25M

San Jose

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

This contract takes him to age 42 lol

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Radko Gudas 6 x $1.5M

Florida

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

@AngryPredsFan They also signed Pinchuk out of the KHL

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

@OnTheFuturePBR I imagine the cost to acquire Bourque was reduced (no first-rounder) b/c they took on Lybushkin to give Dallas some more cap flexibility.

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

This is now the second time in his short tenure with the Preds that MacFarland has targeted a pending RFA on a cap-strapped team. Smart business.

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

Depends on where Bourque's contract lands, but this is around (if not a little less than) what the Preds would have sent to Dallas for offer sheet compensation.

Hearing Mavrik Bourque to Nashville

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

The Red Sox are making me question my decision to give up baseball for the rest of the summer. I'll be monitoring the situation for the next few weeks.

@wyshynski Let us have some fun in late June, Greg

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

Norris Trophy winner/American hero/gold medalist Zach Werenski is on the trade market, and these six teams *should* be pursuing him aggressively.

Prospect cards are gospel when they indicate the Preds got a steal

[Patrick Bacon @TopDownHockey]

#Preds select Tommy Bleyl 31st overall. I ranked him 10th overall.

The first big steal of this draft according to the model, Bleyl is a defenseman who scored well over a point a game in the QMJHL this year. Slightly undersized, but 6' is a sufficient frame if he can fill out.

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

Luke Bryan announcing Wyatt Cullen. Tough start to the NHL career.

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

Or maybe not!

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

Sabres are about to get Chase Reid. Buffalo is completely dominating the offseason. Running circles around everyone. This is bizarro world.

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

This contract is already a steal, and it'll only look better with each passing year.

[David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod]

Kings have signed Brandt Clarke to a 5-year extension worth $7.4M per season

[Austin Nivison @AustinNivison]

I've crunched the numbers and ranked every No. 1 NHL Draft pick since 2000, including the presumptive top pick tonight, Gavin McKenna.

How might McKenna stack up to the other No. 1 picks that have come before him?

Sabres are absolutely cooking this offseason

@JeffMarek @wyshynski Do they know they’re down by eight runs with no one on base?
