Mark Stone and the Vegas Golden Knights will have extension talks

NHL Rumour Report: David Pagnotta on DFO Rundown on the Vegas Golden Knights and Mark Stone: “They’re gonna get to talks with Mark Stone…they’ve kind of put that on the backburner for the time being; he loves it out in Vegas and would like to continue.”

Michael Hage is thinking of college again over going pro

Eric Engels: Montreal Canadiens prospect Michael Hage hasn’t closed the door on turning pro, but he thinks it’s best for him if he returns to Michigan for another season. He has things he wants to continue to develop and he wants to be a leader and win there.

NHL Rumors: Vegas Golden Knights, Montreal Canadiens, and the Chicago Blackhawks

Connor Bedard could be looking for Kirill Kaprizov money

The Fourth Period: Leo Carlsson signed a five-year, $18 million per offer sheet. Kirill Kaprizov comes in at $17 million a season, and Irfaan Gaffar reported that Connor Bedard could be looking for Kaprizov money from the Chicago Blackhawks.

“Connor Bedard is in for a payday. He saw Bowen Byram get a payday. I think that Connor Bedard is looking at Kirill Kaprizov money,” Gaffar said. “I think that is a situation and that is a number that he’s looking at, and I do strongly believe that he thinks he deserves it. I’m not entirely sure the Chicago Blackhawks as an organization are close to that number when discussing Connor Bedard right now.”

Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson was believed to have started Bedard talks in the $10 to $12 million range.

  • Allan Walsh: “There are so many younger NHL players right now regretting that they signed last year or during the season. Millions per year were left on the table.”
