Trevor Zegras explains why this contract negotiation was completely different
Trevor Zegras became an instant fan favorite in his first season with the Philadelphia Flyers. The Long Island native returned to the East Coast and brought the sunshine of Anaheim with him. He put up 41 points in as many games to start last season, hanging up the phone on his former team to cap off the first half. Things were hit and miss from there, with Zegras and the Flyers getting hot again in March and April to make the playoffs, a first for the forward and a first for Philadel...

Lightning Morning News: Stars and Robertson come to an agreement
One of the biggest stories of the off-season came to a resolution. Kind of. The Dallas Stars and restricted free agent Jason Robertson have agreed to a new contract for next season. Just next season. It’s a one-year deal with a $12 million cap hit. When the deal expires on June 30, Robertson will be an unrestricted free agent. He will be eligible for an extension as of January 1, so expect the trade/contract talk to ramp back up right around that time, especially if the Stars are struggling. ...

Top Landing Spots For Free Agent Eeli Tolvanen
Eeli Tolvanen remains a free agent deep into the offseason, and is probably one of the five best players still available in the pool. The Seattle Kraken opted not to re-sign the winger, letting him hit the open market on July 1 after he posted 12 goals and 36 points across 78 games while adding a heavy, physical element. The 27-year-old's size and a dip in his shooting percentage last season are among the factors that have kept him unsigned, but his even-strength scoring remains a legit asse...
