Morning Skate: Don't expect B's fireworks at NHL Draft?

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while the NHL Draft is ready to begin tonight after the NBA had their big moment on Thursday.

*USA Today has the top-5 teams expected to make moves at NHL Draft weekend, and the Boston Bruins are not one of them. It may be that any big fireworks for the B’s are coming around July 1 rather than the draft, so we’ll have to wait and see.

 

*PK Subban talks about hanging out with the wicked smart kids at Harvard, and being on the cover of an EA Sports game.

*Interesting follow-up with Chrissy Teigen and Ryan Miller after they went head-to-head on social media a few weeks ago. Looks like they managed to squash any social media beef they might have had, and the social media heroes trying to rip Miller for making a joke can go find something else to be outraged about.

*After a long, successful run in Carolina, the Hurricanes and goaltender Cam Ward are going to be parting ways this summer.

 

*It sounds like the Washington Capitals are looking for a first round pick for backup goaltender Philipp Grubauer. I’m not sure if they’re going to get that, but we shall see.

*Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli talks about where the Oil sit as a potentially active team on draft day.

*Good piece by Katie Strang on what any teams interested in Slava Voynov should be thinking long and hard about before signing the Russian defenseman charged with assaulting his wife. If I were a GM, I’d be passing on him and doing it without even a quick pause.  

*For something completely different: Even if he was the absolute LVP (Least Valuable Player) of the Infinity War, you’ve got to appreciate Chris Pratt AKA Star Lord.
