In the 2019 and 2020 NHL Draft, only 17 of the 124 players taken in the first two rounds have yet to play a single NHL game.
Yzerman's camp drafted five of them.

When the NHL puts out its annual sappy ad spot depicting how much courage and valour and hard work it takes to win the Cup, I hope that they also mention that you could either devote your entire life to winning the Cup...or you could be the middle-school child of a billionaire.
Paul Bissonnette's theory is that super agent Judd Moldaver might be trying to help build a super team in Toronto.
His top clients are Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid and Zach Werenski. All three are UFAs on July 1st, 2028.
Moldaver grew up in Toronto around Yonge and Eglinton.
Leo Carlsson’s AAV will be only $500K more than the combination of Jacob Trouba and Darnell Nurse for the first 4 years of his contract.
Under that perspective, I feel like the decision is obvious to just eat it and match.
Key details from what I understand on Leo Carlsson offer-sheet:
Front-loaded and bonus structure, as we’d all expect
In the next 12 months, he will earn approximately $39M
Alexander Karmanov who is 7’1 is on the ice. He’s towering over the other skaters.
He is set to play at Penn State in 2027 but would become the tallest player to ever debut in the NHL if he were to make it.
geno having no idea why anyone was mad at him but putting up 10K just to get everyone off his back. but not before beating craig adams up. and having no idea why he was even in the fight. he’s so funny to me.
🚨 BREAKING: The Blue Jackets have announced that Zach Werenski will NOT leave Columbus and will not get traded this offseason.
He will not become a Maple Leaf.
