The Vancouver Canucks will not exercise the option on Rick Tocchet’s contract. Finally, it seems Evander Kane is happy to play in the first game of the Edmonton Oilers playoffs, but now he is not in the first game. What happened there?

Evander Kane did not compete 1

According to the latest report from head coach Kris Knoblauch, the Edmonton Oilers will have several players back, but they will still be hurt when they start the series with the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. The latest records for Mattias Ekholm, Evander Kane and Troy Stecher will not play the first game. TrentFrederic is possible because he is everyday, and Brett Kulak should be a good thing after leaving the team and returning to Canmore, Alberta.

The situation with Evander Kane is interesting because guessing he’s happy to go and can play in the second game. What’s the difference if the problem becomes 48 hours? If Kane hasn’t been out all season but is bad for the first game, why would the Oiler believe his prognosis will change his benefits for the second game?

He is a backup plan just in case something gets up early?

Larkin criticizes Red Wings Trade Deadline Decision

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin spoke to the media over the weekend and publicly criticized the team for lack of action over the 2025 NHL trade deadline. Larkin advises the team missed an opportunity to add and give the roster an exciting roster.

“I think it’s hard to do nothing, especially in March,” Larkin said. “The guys are a little frustrated with it… it would be nice to add something and bring some spark.”

The comments sparked a lot of chats from Red Wing fans, wondering if this suggests that Larkin is not happy with the team’s direction and may eventually talk about the deal. This may be too early, especially considering that he is the captain and is locked into a $8.7 million deal per season until 2031.

Speaking to reporters, Andersson admitted that he hadn’t thought much about his long-term plans as he focused on playoff pushes and his upcoming appearance at the World Championship.

“It felt like the first big decision of my career,” Anderson said. “I’ve been here for ten years and love every second,” he added. “But you know, there are a lot of good young players in the organization and you know, you only have a certain number of correct shot defenders that you can have on the team.”

He stressed his desire to sit down with his family after the world and carefully considered his choice. “I think both sides just need to sit down and see what happens and we’re going to take it from there.”

Canucks won’t exercise options on Tocchet contract

According to Elliotte Friedman, “Canadian general manager Jim Rutherford said the team will not exercise the option on Rick Tocchet’s contract, praising the work the coaches do. “I doubt we will make the decision sometime this week.” “Hopefully, Tocchet stays.”

Is this the sign that Tocchet will leave the Canucks? More tomorrow.
