I'm not sure what y'all expected for a temporary jersey for a team that won't have a real name for another year!

In the first year with a new jersey manufacturer.

My complaint is mostly with the diagonal UTAH down the front. I'm actually OK with the colors, but for future iterations, I would like to see elements from the new state flag.

Utah’all!!!

Not using the PWHL as a template, which is a pretty low bar.

In fairness, the PWHL are going into year 2 without names and logos so far although once again they're "coming soon"

A one year uniform…hopefully the second attempt at this will be considerably better.

No doubt. They could have gone with the name Yeti and incorporated a picture of my sister in law into the logo. Where's the creativity and imagination? Dull rules, apparently.

Max Pacioretty is attending the Leafs camp on a PTO but the expectation is that he’ll sign a contract before the season.

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare signed a PTO with the Avs and Kailer Yamamoto signed a PTO with Utah

Toronto and Edmonton ... the official homes of those who will work for peanuts

Patches looks cooked, why he would want to play for $875K after making all those millions is a head scratcher...

Because he doesn't think he's cooked. A lot of guys don't know when it's time.

Another high profile departure at Sportsnet. Christine Simpson is leaving for undisclosed reasons.

The Leafs signed Jani Hakanpaa, 1 year/$1.47 million.

Good ole Johnny Flackenpoo

Big, slow, injury prone ... perfect Leaf defenseman.

Devils dman Luke Hughes injured his left shoulder in off-season training. It won’t require surgery but he’s expected to be out 6-8 weeks. Brett Pesce can tell him all about recovery from shoulder issues.

 

[jeffbear]

Can he? Because I'm not sure he ever recovered from his last one ... or not so you could tell, at least.

 

[andyt]

Columbus GM Don Waddell said this morning that they were still looking to sign players, not to PTOs but to contracts. They signed JVR to a 1 year/$900k contract.

Max Miller, who covers the Sharks for The Hockey News, says Kevin Labanc is signing a PTO with the Devils.
