With the Sabres struggling out of the gate, it appears that some teams are kicking the tires to see if a core piece could be pried away. TSN’s Darren Dreger reported earlier this week on Sekeres and Price (video link) that some teams from the West have inquired about defenseman Bowen Byram although Buffalo has been informing teams he’s not available.

On Monday, Ben Pope at the Chicago Sun-Times broke the news that the Chicago Blackhawks will host the St. Louis Blues in a preseason game on Oct. 5 — in Milwaukee. The Blackhawks hosted the Minnesota Wild at Fiserve Forum in Milwaukee in October of 2022 in a preseason game and that game was a terrific (dare I say… wild) success. It sold out in less than one hour and most of the tickets were purchased by Wisconsin residents. That game was the first NHL game in the state of Wisconsin since 1993.

As we continue to add teams to the “offseason” one playoff elimination at a time, the talk about what teams need to do to improve and win a championship will become more specific — and more intense. And no market loves to stir the pot in search of an elusive title more than Toronto. So, in the wake of an overtime Game 7 loss over the weekend, Leafs Nation is on fire.

The Rockford IceHogs hosted a win-or-go-home Game 4 on Sunday afternoon. Sadly, they’re going home for the summer. Grand Rapids won the game 4-2 and ended the year for the Hogs. It wasn’t the way the fans or players wanted their season to end, but the IceHogs put up a solid effort. The good news from the game: the box score for Rockford was encouraging. Ethan Del Mastro and Wyatt Kaiser each had an assist. And the two goals: both from Lukas Reichel.

It’s Sunday. We’re now two sleeps away from the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery. Can you feel the anticipation? Or are you like me and this year’s lottery is a really big event that’s still only registering at like… a 6 on the scale of Jack Skille to OMG IT’S HAPPENING! Last year was the biggy, and the Blackhawks landed Connor Bedard. This year it would be incredible if they landed the top pick and Macklin Celebrini, but I don’t feel like there’s anywhere close to the amount of emotional investment in it.

Jonas Siegel of The Athletic further added to the intrigue, reporting the team’s efforts to maintain secrecy surrounding Matthews’ potential involvement. Measures included dressing all forwards uniformly, refraining from running lines, and limiting the skate to a concise 15 minutes before Matthews departed. In addition to the Matthews saga, Bobby McMann‘s return to the main group for the first time since his lower-body injury marks a positive development for the team.
