Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while getting the “Welcome, Al Horford” bandwagon locked and loaded for tonight.
*The Hockey Central boys had some good discussion going into the free agent frenzy and broke down the Jacob Trouba/offer sheet stuff pretty thoroughly.
*A Bruins fan is going to miss P.K. Subban’s time with the Montreal Canadiens, and the villainous role he played in the rivalry.
*It looks like Ray Shero is getting some traction in New Jersey after clearly winning the Taylor Hall trade with Edmonton.
*Jeremy Rutherford said that it was a tough day for St. Louis Blues fans as David Backes and Troy Brouwer were both out the door from a team that made it all the way to the conference finals.
*The Islanders get Andrew Ladd as their “under construction” status continues following another year of moderate success.
*Emerging D-man Rasmus Ristolainen is going to cash in as a restricted free agent for the Buffalo Sabres while the team around him just gets better and better.
Boston Bruins
*For something completely different: it sounds like Great Britain isn’t doing so great these days.
