Ray Shero says that Taylor Hall likely won’t negotiate a contract with the Devils until after the start of free agency. Ray also says that more formal meetings will happen later in the summer. [NHL]
An ESPN Q&A with Rejean Shero includes this fun nugget about offer sheets: “There is no gentleman’s agreement. F--- that s---. When people say that, it’s a lazy narrative, I’ll tell you that.” [ESPN]

Toronto Maple Leafs bracing for activity. Telling teams they will listen on Kapanen and Kadri. Would need a D back in a Kapanen trade and a centre back for Kadri. Strong sense Connor Brown could go as well.

Will Mitch Marner work his way out of Toronto? No doubt one of the most interesting contract situations this summer: [Sportsnet]
Kyle Dubas says it's not a foregone conclusion the #leafs would match a Mitch Marner offer sheet. Indicates they's have to weigh the return -- just as they would with fellow RFA's Kasperi Kapanen and Andreas Johnsson.
