Adam Benák’s NCAA Season Could Define His NHL Potential -

Quinn Hughes’ Wild Future Remains Uncertain ft. Joe Smith & Evan Gold | The Sheet with Jeff Marek - 
Jeff Marek is joined by Joe Smith of The Athletic to break down the latest surrounding Quinn Hughes and the Minnesota Wild following Bill Guerin’s recent comments about the superstar defenceman’s future. They discuss where things stand between Hughes and the Wild, Guerin acknowledging that the team can’t force Hughes to sign a contract, what Hughes may be looking for, whether he ultimately wants to remain in Minnesota, and what could happen if the Wild are eventually forced to explore a trade — including the possibility of Hughes wanting to play alongside his brothers. Later, Jeff sits down with Evan Gold, the new Assistant General Manager of the New York Islanders and General Manager of their AHL affiliate in Hamilton, to discuss his journey through professional hockey, joining the Islanders organization, his approach to player development and roster construction, his new role in Hamilton, his outlook on the Islanders, and much more. #NHL #MinnesotaWild #QuinnHughes #NYIslanders #Th

Wild GM Guerin Discusses Quinn Hughes Contract Talks Amid Makar’s Benchmark -

Kaprizov doesn’t need a letter on his jersey to be Minnesota’s most important player. He has been that from the moment he arrived.

PK Questions, 98 Highlights, Makar Money, and Other Blackhawks Bullets - 
Thinking about the Blackhawks roster heading into the new season, my mind wandered to the penalty kill. Last year, the Hawks had one of the top units in the NHL; they were the best in the league before the trade deadline. I think we can safely assume the first two defensemen over the boards on the PK will be Alex Vlasic and Ian Cole this season. But, looking beyond those two, there are some questions. Wyatt Kaiser will likely see an increased role. But who will be the fourth defenseman killing penalties? Last year in Buffalo, Bowen Byram spent almost the same total ice time killing penalties (133:06 — 1:37 per game) as he did on the power play (131:02 — 1:36 per game). Assuming he’ll be part of the Blackhawks’ top power play unit, Chicago’s coaches may look at backing him off the penalty kill. And, considering Vlasic, Cole and Kaiser are all left-handed, there might be an opp

Kaprizov averaged 48 goals per 82 games, while Zuccarello’s three highest single-season point totals came with Kaprizov. Now the band is broken up, partly because the front off-ice thought Kaprizov was too reliant on Zuccarello’s presence.
