Have to wonder what Patrick Kane’s approach will be this offseason. Is he wanting to chase another cup, or is he happy just playing hockey in Detroit?

I wonder about the #GoAvsGo on a short/cheap deal. #TexasHockey?

[The Mug NHL @TheMugNHL]

David Pagnotta thinks Mason McTavish is someone the Toronto Maple Leafs should inquire about.

Now hear me out, a reunion between the #GoJetsGo and Patrik Laine this summer. One-year ‘prove it’ deal. Has potential to be beneficial for both sides.

I don’t hate the idea, but I understand why others might.

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

There is a lot of belief around the league that the #Canucks are seriously considering selecting Caleb Malhotra with the 3rd overall pick

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

Following elimination, what is next for Sabres F Alex Tuch?

Seems clear in my eyes that he wants to remain a Sabre, but I’ve wondered about teams like EDM, LAK, CHI, NYR, and even WPG for the right price

CBJ and PIT could be a couple of sleeper teams as well, in my opinion.

@joeysandviches1 Hard not to listen when the player on the line is a two-time 60 goal scorer with near selke level abilities. Sure he’s had a couple of down years, but it’s Auston Matthews.

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

Would an Auston Matthews trade between the #SJSharks and #LeafsForever even be that crazy?

Like if I’m the Maple Leafs and there’s uncertainty around Matthews and his future, why not make the call regarding the 2nd pick + other assets?

I really don’t think it’s THAT crazy.

@TheMugNHL Appreciate the love, Mug 🤝

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

@KAYSCRIMES I still believe

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

Macklin Celebrini played 18:02 of the final 40 minutes vs Finland.

He finished with a team-high 25:53 TOI. #TheFutureIsTeal

Are the #GoKingsGo better, worse, or no different after the addition of Artemi Panarin? 🤔 👀

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

You simply just cannot doubt the Edmonton Oilers when they trail a hockey game.

We have witnessed this team comeback time and time again, and when the playoffs start, McDavid, Draisaitl and Bouchard all turn a new leaf.

This team WILL be winning the cup.

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

Hearing the Dodgers will be acquiring Artemi Panarin as soon as tomorrow. #Dodgers

[Kevin Weekes @KevinWeekes]

Per sources, as of today, I’m told the following have expressed interest in Panarin ; ANA, LA, SJ, VGK, DAL, UT, COL, MIN, SEA, TOR, CAR, WAS, TBL, NYI.
More clubs will join, and importantly player has to approve any move first. @NYRangers #HockeyX

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

If you’re the Toronto Maple Leafs, what approach are you taking towards the deadline? Like in all honesty I figure it’s time to blow it up. Trade Rielly, fetch a 2nd for McMann and a 2nd for Stolarz and build around Matthews, Knies, Cowan, Willy, Woll.

#LeafsForever

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

There is a legitimate chance that Panarin remains with the Rangers past the trade deadline. Him wanting an extension has made the situation a little trickier.

Unlikely, but still a real possibility. #NYR

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

REPORT: The Los Angeles Kings ( #GoKingsGo ) are interested in Bobby McMann, and would want to bring him in if the Maple Leafs (#LeafsForever) make him available

#NHL

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

#TimeToHunt are believed to be Panarin’s team of choice, but how would they make it work?

[Blake - HockeyTalkDaily @bbackmanHTD]

What we know in the Panarin sweepstakes:

#FlyTogether out, extension doesn’t make sense to them.

#AllCaps, #GoKingsGo, #TheFutureIsTeal, #CarolinaCulture remain in on him. Caps and Sharks believe extension is possible.

I still believe #LGRW are in the mix.
