NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

The New York Islanders signed star forward Mathew Barzal to an eight-year extension on Tuesday.

His new pact has a reported average annual value of $9.15 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. Barzal has one season remaining on his current deal with a cap hit of $7 million. He could have become a restricted free agent following the 2022-23 campaign.

Barzal, 25, recently expressed his desire to stay with the Islanders and said he was aiming to sign an extension before the start of the new season.

Like the Islanders as a whole, Barzal floundered a bit in 2021-22. He put up a career-low 15 goals in 73 games while seeing a slight dip in his ice time. Despite his struggles, he still tied for the team lead with 59 points.

He was already tied with captain Anders Lee as the highest-paid player in Long Island, but Barzal will take the lead outright beginning in 2023-24.

Selected by the Islanders in the first round of the 2015 draft, Barzal has 311 points in 362 career contests, as well as an additional 38 points in 49 playoff games.

Did any US folks watch the Bruins in TNT last night? I can’t tell whether the feed was just absolute crap or whether it was my provider messing up the feed. It was cutting out or freezing like every 5 minutes.

Also that studio crew is still the worst. But this season Bissonette looks like a flesh-covered muppet. Frickin’ creepy.

I never watch pre-season
 
The Calgary Flames signed defenseman Mackenzie Weegar to an eight-year contract extension with an average annual value of $6.25 million. It begins in 2023-24.

Calgary has now inked both players it obtained in the Matthew Tkachuk trade to eight-year contract extensions, having done so with Jonathan Huberdeau in early August. That pact carries an AAV of $10.5 million.

The Flames acquired both players along with prospect Cole Schwindt and a 2025 conditional first-round pick from the Florida Panthers in the blockbuster swap in July.

Weegar has been one of the NHL's best and most underrated two-way blue-liners in recent years. The 28-year-old established career highs with eight goals, 36 assists, 23:22 of average ice time, and 80 games played with the Panthers last season.
 
The Vancouver Canucks have traded forward Jason Dickinson and a 2024 second-round draft pick to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenseman Riley Stillman, the teams announced Friday.

More to come.
