It’s ok to be tired of the NHL’s outdoor games. There are so many of them, after all. But for the players involved, getting to play outside is romantic, nostalgic and special. A reminder of what drew you to this line of work to begin with. nytimes.com/athletic/7721903…

“No, I see stuff like that, ‘If Larks come, I sign the next day.'"
I asked Quinn Hughes regarding the speculation of Dylan Larkin's destination impacting him, on Hellebuyck, etc and what makes this next move such a hard/important decision for him #mnwild

Okay, twist in the plot. Connor Hellebuyck trade talks are escalating it could go down today. Busy day developing. Stay tuned.
There’s a sense there could be an agreement between the Jets and Hellebuyck to delay his physical until a later date out of respect to the Heritage classic. This weekend is about the game. Meanwhile, the focus to trade the star goalie remains. More coming up on @SportsCentre

Quinn Hughes was a lot of things in Vancouver.
Captain. Norris winner. Franchise d-man.
“A great Canuck,” Brock Boeser says
But how will he be received in return with #mnwild ?
“He’ll be the villain.”

NEW: The isolation. The fear. The FOMO. In the NHL, the road back from serious injury can be even tougher mentally than it is physically.
My deep dive into the tortured psychology of an injured NHL player:

Owen Power has been great to start the season for the Sabres. He’s also playing with a lot on his mind. I spoke to Power about his relationship with Matthew Mayich and how much he’s thinking of him every time he steps on the ice. Free to read:

Everyone talked about how the NHL’s “Hot for Hockey” campaign fell flat. But few explored why.
So I went straight to the community the league was trying to reach: BookTok.
What I found was a much bigger conversation about hockey, romance and the NHL’s approach to female fans.

Brady Tkachuk returns to Ottawa for the first time tonight since being traded this summer. How hostile will tonight be? @TheAthleticNHL
Here’s my latest, with more quotes from him during my time in Fort Lauderdale at Panthers training camp.

Most interesting teams to me on Larkin's 10-team list are Utah and New Jersey. Mammoth already made a move for Trocheck, of course, and Devils are pretty good down the middle. But of the teams on the list, young talent in those orgs definitely stands out

Seven players will make their Team Canada debuts at the upcoming IIHF Women's World Championship.
National team mainstays (Brianne Jenner and Jocelyne Larocque) are notably absent as Canada ushers in a youth movement.

The Brewers haven’t been to the World Series since ‘82, when a young Bill Zito was a bat boy on that ball club. The two-time Stanley Cup champion GM says that experience 44 years ago helped shape his path to where he is today.
“One hundred percent.”
