Eichel favourite to win Conn Smythe. Wiining it should go over well with those that wrote him off last year.

LeBrun rumblings: NHL offseason in full swing for 28 teams, with big changes coming in Toronto, Pittsburgh
Who will Pittsburgh's next GM be? What's next for Kyle Dubas? Which core Toronto player makes most sense to move? The summer fun begins.

The Penguins have been busy conducting interviews as they seek to fill out their front office. They’re looking to hire both a president of hockey operations and a general manager.
They chatted with a dozen or so people via Zoom in the first round of GM interviews and are cutting down the list to a shorter group for in-person second-round interviews, according to league sources. Some of the first-round candidates were informed Tuesday that they are no longer in the running.
I’ve confirmed seven people who were part of the first-round Zoom interviews: Marc Bergevin (Kings), Eric Tulsky (Hurricanes), Peter Chiarelli (Blues), Jason Karmanos (Sabres) and a hat trick of Devils front-office people: Dan MacKinnon (senior vice president/AGM), Kate Madigan (AGM) and Meghan Duggan (director of player development).
Again, there are other names, as well. I wasn’t able to confirm rumored names such as Lightning AGM Mathieu Darche nor Kraken AGM and former Penguins AGM Jason Botterill, but I would be surprised if they weren’t candidates.
I was also told the Penguins wanted to include Brad Treliving as part of their first wave of Zoom interviews but the Flames denied them permission, apparently telling Pittsburgh it would have to wait until Treliving’s contract expired June 30 — which, well, is a little bizarre of the Flames if you ask me. Treliving is leaving the organization, so why would they care?
In the meantime, as our Penguins columnist Rob Rossi wrote this week, the club is looking to hire a president of hockey operations and one name that keeps being mentioned is former Coyotes GM John Chayka. However, I’ve also been told Chayka could potentially surface with another NHL organization over the next few weeks. So TBD on that one.

Something to note about that job search is some guys are definitely being given an interview strictly as a friendly courtesy, more so than them being seriously considered for the job.

You’re in with the 85% of Leafs fans that don’t watch hockey after the Leafs are out.
I’m not taking a shot at you, but it explains why Leafs fans in general don’t know what it takes to win a Cup.

Mario whined all the time. He even called this league a garage league
Calgary, Edmonton, Habs, Sens and Canucks all went to the finals
One of them could have won if they wanted to or could. Bettman has nothing to do with Canadian teams not winning

I do feel bad for their fans having to go through this.
That said, this seems like a highly unnecessary self inflicted situation by their ownership. Cheaped out on the campaign, outspent by the opposition - which they could have avoided in the first place by striking a deal with those unions......

Hamilton’s arena won’t be available until 2025-26 season. It also wouldn’t be of modern NHL quality with the current plans, only 17,500 capacity. I suppose if a NHL team was coming, they could modify the renovations that are being undertaken though. Perhaps with enough funding, the rebuild could be expedited too.
Houston seems most likely.
It’s sounding a bit like they hoped it would fail.

As long as they can get their own arena, or the new Rockets owner isn't as much of a dick as the last one.
That is how their AHL team got screwed despite being one of the most popular teams in the league. Selling out like crazy but they were getting charged rent like an upper-tier NHL team.
Little doubt that they could support at least a mid-tier NHL franchise with everything properly in place, and you'd have another great in-state rivalry to add to the NHL.
