Craig Berube hopes to be back with the Maple Leafs next season

Arun Srinivasan: Toronto Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said that he expects to be back next season, but he hasn’t received any assurances from management and doesn’t know for sure.

Will the Philadelphia Flyers be able to land a center this offseason?

NHL Rumour Report: Anthony Di Marco on Daily Faceoff on the Philadelphia Flyers: “GM Danny Briere is going to have to move out bodies this summer if and when he adds a center. It won’t be Tyson Foerster, Porter Martone or Matvei Michkov, but I still do wonder if Owen Tippett is long for Philadelphia.”

Will a sizeable gap lead to Sergei Bobrovsky signing elsewhere for next season?

NHL Rumour Report: Greg Wyshynski on the The Sheet on Florida Panthers pending UFA goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky: “I think the situation with and Florida is pretty bad; I’ve heard there is a significant gap in what he’s looking for and what they’re willing to give him, and I have a feeling that they’re gonna go in a different direction now.”

The Vancouver Canucks were building a management succession plan on the side

Sekeres and Price: John Shannon on the Sekeres and Price show said that with the big contract they had signed Ryan Johnson (AHL GM) too, it appeared that he was part of their management plan if they needed to go a different direction in the future. Having Manny Malhotra coaching as well gives them another good internal option if they want to make a change behind the bench.

“The one thing that the Canucks did was give him a very, very lucrative contract, particular for a guy that was working in the American League. Almost as an insurance policy, to make sure that, you know, that they were building towards the future, even on the management side. And whether that’s it, you know, and I think they did the same with Manny.

So from that perspective, I think that they’re, they were not hedging their bets, but they were, you know, building a succession plan on the fly. And so I wouldn’t be surprised to see if Ryan Johnson gets a bigger role in the Canucks starting in the summertime.”
