Welcome back for the Monday edition of Links, News, and Notes. The hockey world is very much in the sleepy stages of summer, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still some news-worthy happenings to discuss:
- There has been a lot of noise recently surrounding Pierre-Luc Dubois supposedly requesting a trade, with a strong preference for playing for the Montreal Canadiens. However, after accepting his one-year qualifying offer from the Jets, Dubois met with the Media day and declared he had not requested a trade. Call me skeptical.
- Speaking of trades, the Flames’ ability to sign MacKenzie Weegar and Jonathan Huberdeau is one of the most important factors in evaluating how they did in the Matthew Tkachuk trade.
