Sunday Overreactions for @Sportsnet You can make an argument that no player was hurt more by Craig Berube's system than Morgan Rielly. Now with a clean slate and different role, what does Rielly have to do to bounce back? sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sun…

We would take a closer look at Emil Andrae. An extremely underrated DEF so far. He is already more effective than Provorov in some cases #CBJ

It won't be a surprise if Jesper Wallstedt posts a breakout season He had solid numbers in 33 starts as a rookie: .921 SV% 5v5 (T-8th among goalies with 200+ TOI), 0.116 GSAx/60 5v5 (28th), 0.752 xGOGA/GA 5v5 (23rd) This year, he is expected to continue developing and improve his stats. And he will be a starter from the start and can solidify this role. That could make him a TOP-15/20 goalie by overall contribution #MNWild

Re Logan Stanley/#Isles: There have been talks throughout the summer between Stanley's camp and the club but NYI was hoping that George would have won that spot. Was his spot to lose and he ultimately lost it. Stanley is 6'7, 231 lbs.

A curious move. Logan Stanley checks some boxes, and if he plays a full season, he can be worth $1.5M. But righty Scott Mayfield can do the same job as a 7th-defenseman, while George/Aitcheson looked like the better [albeit unproven] options for the 3rd-pair spot #Isles
We've been waiting on some unsigned players to choose NHL homes for 2026-27. There is news this morning there is mutual interest between the Islanders & Logan Stanley 1 x $1.5M

Per rumors, Kucherov is looking for ~$20M. With the expected $127.5M Cap, $20M will be 15.69% of the Cap in Year 2 of a new deal (2028-29). The same percentage of the Cap was $15M in 2025-26 #GoBolts
On pending UFA Nikita Kucherov, the reigning Hart Trophy winner, everyone involved seems pretty Zen about the fact he's not extended yet as the season approaches. It'll happen when it happens seems to be the prevailing mood around those talks, lots of time before July 1. He wants to stay, and Lightning want to sign him long term. But hard to predict when exactly it gets done.

Hellebuyck is an attractive but debatable option for #TheFutureIsTeal He would immediately bring elite goaltending, would steal games, and their Playoffs odds would increase. Yet they would likely be forced to trade Askarov and other assets that could help for years when the young core hits their prime and the window opens wide #GoJetsGo
The San Jose Sharks have reportedly "kicked tires" on a potential trade for Connor Hellebuyck, per @FriedgeHNIC 👀 Although it is unclear which team initiated the talks, Friedman believes San Jose makes a lot of sense as a landing spot for the netminder, given that their window of contention lines up with Hellebuyck's.
