Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while the Bruins ready for a pivotal, pivotal road stretch.
*How the big trade has worked out for both the Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets a year after Evander Kane was sent to Buffalo as part of a multi-player exchange.
*Congrats to longtime AHL coach Roy Sommer, who worked in Worcester for a long, long time, on becoming the winningest coach in league history.
*Don Meehan, the agent for Steven Stamkos, went public to discuss contract negotiations with his client as the Maple Leafs are clearing off the decks.
*The Arizona Coyotes have lost five games in a row, and are sinking quickly in the Pacific Division after a Cinderella start to the season.
*NHL.com correspondent Patrick Williams has started a website devoted strictly to American Hockey League news, notes and updates that people should check out.
*The CSN Mid Atlantic folks ask an interesting question: Are the Washington Capitals the NHL’s version of the Golden State Warriors?
*The Leafs blog community is crying big, big hockey tears about why the NHL doesn’t care about Toronto’s Centennial for the Maple Leafs franchise.
*For something completely different: a new trailer for the Batman vs. Superman movie is probably the best one yet, but I’m still not excited about this flick. I just don’t like Zack Snyder’s movies. There’s too much CGI and noise, and spectacle, and not enough heart and humor in there.
