Stay tuned and we'll have you covered!
Pierre LeBrun reports here on three members of the front office for the Devils getting consideration for the Penguins general manager job: Dan MacKinnon (senior vice president/assistant general manager), Kate Madigan (assistant general manager) and Meghan Duggan (director of player development): [The Athletic ($)]
Michael Russo and Eric Duhatschek on the future of Connor Hellebuyck: “If he becomes available, don’t be surprised if Buffalo and New Jersey take big swings. One thing we’ve heard early this offseason is that the Sabres have interest in Hellebuyck, with the belief that a genuine No. 1 goaltender could be the last remaining piece in turning them into contenders.” [The Athletic ($)]

This is the first time in #StanleyCup Playoffs history the final four teams are based in “Sun Belt” states. The closest instance before came in 2020 when 3 of 4 clubs met those criteria (Tampa Bay, Dallas and Vegas). #NHLStats

Another brutal night for the Coyotes, whose arena deal in Tempe didn’t gain voter approval on Tuesday:
“We are very disappointed Tempe voters did not approve Propositions 301, 302, and 303. As Tempe Mayor Corey Woods said, it was the best sports deal in Arizona history. The Coyotes wish to thank everyone who supported our efforts and voted yes."

“The Arizona Coyotes’ bid for a new arena appears to be dead. In the first release of results from Tuesday’s referendum, voters in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe were strongly against three propositions to build a $2.3 billion entertainment district that would include a new arena for the Coyotes.” [Associated Press]
“Of the six groups rumoured to have interest in the Ottawa Senators, sources told Postmedia that four groups submitted bids, and one of those was as high as $1 billion, Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch reports.” [TSN]
