The Pittsburgh Penguins’ Cup runneth over for the second consecutive season. The hoopla over the addition of the Vegas Golden Knights and the Expansion Draft this week in Las Vegas is in the NHL history books. This weekend the NHL Entry Draft takes place in Chicago; July 1 starts the free-agent frenzy.
Feeling somewhat left out with a dearth of hoopla in the Hub of Hockey? Fret no further these days of summer.
In addition to draft picks, possible trades and free-agent signings, set your sights on a few definites for next season. That begins with a full season of Bruce Cassidy, and ditto for a healthy Patrice Bergeron, who tied Bob Gainey with his fourth Selke Award after playing 79 games with a sports hernia.
