It sounds like Tyler Seguin’s camp has begun discussing a new contract with the Stars. Seguin says he hopes to have a deal done before Dallas begins training camp. [NHL]
So what happens to Max Pacioretty, who doesn’t appear to be apart of the Canadiens’ long-term plans? Will he be with the team when the season begins? “I don’t know,” he said. “I’m really taking it one day at a time.” [NHL]
An update on the Seattle expansion franchise coming to an agreement with the city on renovations to KeyArena: [TSN]
Also on the NHL to Seattle front... Bill Daly tells me the league isn’t tethered to 2020-21 for an inaugural season. In fact, sounds like ownership group & league are open to 2021-22 instead.
