As for #97, his soon to be wife is from Edmonton deeply tied to her hometown. Leon resigning = Connor following suit as soon as he can.

Is that true? I thought she was from Toronto

My bad you're right...not sure where I got that intel from. Let's hope for the best anyhoo.

Rishaug is indicating Draisaitl convos have begun but RFAs/UFAs are the immediate priority for mgt first (obviously).

I'd argue that the team cannot make UFA decisions without having a pretty good idea whether they will have Draisaitl and Bouchard, and where those two players will sit on the salary scale. It has a huge impact on whether you sign a free agent for 1 year versus 3-4 years July 1st, because you can't spend all the money you need for those two a year ahead of the date.

It doesn't surprise me at all to know that Rishaug thinks of these things super linearly, and it wouldn't shock me if Holland, Lowe, Nicholson and the rest of those guys approach things similarly. But they shouldn't be, because you can't simply just go in to July thinking about next year's team and cap. Decisions that you make have long-term ramifications. so in the next 3-4 days, they should have things significantly advanced on all fronts - not simply treating the current crop of free agents as the first fire to deal with.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
