List of camp invites. Hamonic is going to attend Vancouver's camp on a PTO. Seems like the same deal as Hoffman where a handshake agreement is in place.

Craig Anderson was the one that surprised me the most. Guess he's set to replace Lundqvist in Washington. They could be in for a rougher season than expected if Samsonov falters.

They might get a good goalie on the waiver wire. Arizona is going to have to put a good goalie on it. So are the Leafs if they don't run with 3 goalies.

They could definitely go that route instead, especially if Anderson stumbles in camp. But probably a stretch to call those candidates "good". A Samsonov and Hill/Dell tandem is still probably in the lower echelon of goalie duos in the league, especially if Samsonov isn't capable of starting a vast majority of the games.

Montreal would have been a really interesting offer sheet possibility here. 1C that they've always needed, French Canadian guy, they've shown the willingness to use offer sheets recently (even if it was a lame attempt). Real shame they used all their cap space.

What's the deal with the work visa? Is that really that hard to sort out?
 
Kappy was supposted to start on Pittsburgh's top line with Crosby and Guentzel, but because of his issues coming over former sorta-Leaf Evan Rodrigues is holding his place there right now. Ceci is currently paired with Mike Matheson on a 3rd pairing that's bound to be all kinds of fun to watch there as well.

Speaking of fun defensive pairings, Tyson Barrie is currently paired with Kris Russell in Edmonton.

Johnsson didn't get stuck at the border and is poised to start his Devils career on their top line with Hughes and Palmieri.
 
Pretty sure the Marner contract did shift the salary playing field more dramatically than most people recognize
- Brayden Point - rich bridge
- Patrik Laine - rich bridge and trade request
- Matthew Tkachuk - rich bridge
- Mikko Rantanen - reasonably discounted Marner deal
- Pierre Luc-Dubois - somewhat rich bridge and trade request
- Mat Barzal - holding out on Lou, looking for $10M+ long term, or rich bridge

As long as the Leafs crush the Scotia division I don't really care.

It would behoove Scotiabank do to everything in their power for the team bearing their logo to win the division bearing their name in the arena that also bears their name.

I get why they'd want to do this and that it's (hopefully) temporary, but it just feels wrong.

Yes, Gretzky, Lemieux, Howe, and of course..... Dionne.
