That isn’t good drafting
Jerry Sullivan: “The Sabres haven’t drafted a player in the second round or later who scored 20 goals in a season for Buffalo since Derek Roy and Jason Pominville, who were drafted in 2001.”
Read on waivers
Michael Russo: The Minnesota Wild put Matt Read on waivers. Would appear that Joel Eriksson Ek and/or Zach Parise are ready to return to the lineup tonight.
Wahlstrom signs ELC
Brett Cyrgalis: The New York Islanders have signed 2018 first-round draft pick Oliver Wahlstrom to a three-year entry-level deal. Likely to sign an ATO and finish the season with Bridgeport of the AHL.
Record-setting Barrie
NHL Public Relations: Tyson Barrie scored 73rd regular season goal passing Sandis Ozolinsh as the most by a Colorado Avalanche/Quebec Nordiques defenseman.
