#1) Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has signed a 8 year $41 Million contract with a AAV of $5.125 Million. RNH has been the third best forward for years on the Oilers and is coming of a year in which he had 35 Points in 52 regular season games and will continue to ba a great top 6 Forward for the Oilers.
#2) Wayne Simmonds has signed a two year deal worth $1.8 Million and a AAV of $.900 Thousand. Simmonds has been a reliable bottom 6 Forward for the Maple Leafs and will continue with them for the next couple years.
#3) Don Granato has signed a three year extension to be the Sabres head Coach. He had a 6-18-4 record with the team in the last 28 games of the season after taking over the coaching job on March 18th.
#4) André Tourigny has been named Head Coach of the Arizona Coyotes. He was recently part of the coaching staff of team Canada that won the gold medal.
#5) Jonas Johansson signed a 1 year $.750 Thousand contract to remain with the Avalanche. He would most likely be the third stringer for the Avalanche in the coming year.
Trade Alert
Los Angeles Nashville
Viktor Arvidsson 2021 2RD (#40)
2022 3RD
Analysis: the LA Kings got a top 6 forward something they said they needed to get this offseason. Arvidsson who I suggest would play on the top line with Kopitar. He can provide goal scoring for the Kings after having 10 Goals and 25 Points in 50 games this year with the Predators. As for Nashville they do give up a good top 6 Forward but get Cap Space and two quality picks for him, and As for the Expansion Draft implications for Nashville in my opinion should be able to still go the 8 skater route and protect Forsberg, Jarnkrok, Sissons, and Kunin while for LA the don’t protect one of Lizzotte or Moore and protect Arvidsson instead.
