Dreger reporting 6/1 date will be pushed back a month.
Don't think letting Kooy go has anything to do with Saville(even though, yes, Saville is looking pretty good). Kooy played himself out of a contract.
The Board of Directors of SKA Hockey Club has approved changes in the management group. The head coach in the 2020/2021 season will be Valeri Bragin, who was previously the senior coach.
Pavel Dorofeyev has been traded from Metallurg to Traktor Tsheljabinsk. Metallurg was 7th in Eastern conference and Traktor 11th in last season so I don't like that at all. On a positive side, he goes to same team with a former Golden Knight Tomas Hyka so I will be see both of them at the same time on next season when Traktor comes to play against Jokerit.
Gets to skate with some good players

We'll probably re-sign him, but the odds he cracks the fourth line are low. Firstly it depends on if Reavo re-signs, and secondly there's guys he's competing with that I like better for that 4RW spot if not Reavo like Quinney, & Brown.RW Keegan Kolesar, RFA
Skated in his first NHL game with the Knights (his only NHL appearance to date) this year but played just 33 games with the Wolves (I'm assuming due to injury).
Memorable run with the Wolves in last year's AHL playoffs. Does he do enough to merit being re-signed and if so what are the odds he cracks the Vegas lineup in 2020-21?
Well, the main reason for my negative thoughts was that now it is unlikely that Dorofeyev will get more playoff experience because Traktor has collected 58 and 56 points during last two seasons in 62 regular season games. Of course in a weaker team he has better chance to get more ice time but with all respect to Dorofeyev, if he is a regular TOP6-winger, Traktor is not going to improve its 11th place. Based on one game where I saw him live last season, I don't think that he is yet dynamic enough to be a consistent scorer against tough men.Isn't Traktor a better developmental team, though?
Kallionkieli invited to Finland's U20 roster this summer.
Dugan signing officially official today. 2 years ELC starting 2020-21.
They should experiment putting Malkin-er, Dugan at C in the AHL (if there is an AHL next season).
Somehow Kenny thinks a 2 year ELC is bad and is overreacting per usual.
The only argument I could think of would be to give him the year this season to burn it and have him sign an RFA contract after next season before he has the opportunity to prove himself and get that contract cheaper but that's splitting hairs and not a reason to think it's bad.
My annual look at Vegas' OHL prospects. Some good video clips of Corcoran in that twitter thread.
Happy to answer questions.
He was drafted at 6'1 IIRC, so he has. Also beefed up.Thanks. Nice to read something on Primeau...well, maybe not. What a shot in the dark that was.
Did Corcoran have a growth spurt? I don't remember him being that big when drafted.
