Let’s go over some news and notes:
- The Rangers won the first pick of the draft, so Alexis Lafreniere won’t be an option for the Wild after all. Instead, the Wild will make the No. 9 selection of the draft, which is still pretty good! [Hockey Wilderness]
- General manager Bill Guerin isn’t beating around the bush. When speaking to the media yesterday, he made it clear that changes need to be made this offseason. The first change will be the departure of goalie coach Bob Mason. [The Athletic]
- Ladies and gentlemen, Kirill Kaprizov is here.
