1. I’m told there’s a possibility of a potential Stadium ️ Series game at @MetLifeStadium next season that could involve @NJDevils as one of the teams. @NHL @espn @NHLNetwork @TSNHockey @DKSportsbook #HockeyTwitter
Latest on the Timo Meier sweepstakes, and perhaps one reason why trade talks have stalled a bit:

Some interesting insight on how retained salary, multi-team trades come together, with an eye on the deal that got Ryan O’Reilly to the Maple Leafs: [The Athletic ($)]
“McDavid reached 800 points in just 545 games making him the fifth-fastest player to reach that milestone. Only Wayne Gretzky (352 games), Mario Lemieux (410), Mike Bossy (525) and Peter Stastny (531) did it quicker.” [Sportsnet]
