The NHL is eyeing a matinee NHL Heritage Classic game between the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs in Hamilton, Ontario, this season, according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.
The target date is March 13. Toronto and Buffalo were previously scheduled to play an afternoon game that day at the KeyBank Center, but the contest was absent from the Sabres' two half-season ticket options revealed last week.
The game would be held at Tim Hortons Field, which plays host to the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats. It has a capacity of about 23,000 but can be expanded to approximately 40,000 for special events. The Sabres would be the home team.
Two outdoor games are scheduled for next season so far; the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues will square off in the pandemic-postponed Winter Classic, while the Nashville Predators face the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stadium Series.
The Canada-based Heritage Classic was most recently held in Saskatchewan in 2019. The Leafs are the only Canadian team who haven't participated in the Heritage Classic, but they've played in three outdoor games.
Including the inaugural Winter Classic in 2008, the Sabres have played in two outdoor contests.
Back in June, the NHL announced plans to schedule a Tim Hortons Heritage Classic in March 2022. If the game is played between the Sabres and Leafs, Buffalo would be the first non-Canadian team to participate.

The Ottawa Senators are bringing back goaltender Filip Gustavsson on a two-year contract.
Gustavsson was a restricted free agent. The first year of his new deal is of the two-way variety, but the second is one way at a $825,000 cap hit.
More to come.

According to sources here in Ottawa, GM Pierre Dorion has apparently tabled an offer to Buffalo for Eichel. Sabres had asked for Jake Sanderson but were told a hard NO, that he would never be part of any trade package, and that goes for Norris and Stützle as well. This is the offer rumored to have been made to Buffalo:
Senators 2022 First Round pick, Erik Brannstrom, Colin White and one of Ridly Greig or Lassi Thomson.

You think 3 first rounders, say a 3rd, and a non-nhl prospect would do it? Too much? Not enough? I know a team that might get some extra picks to shop around.
I know it was rumored Buffalo was looking for 4 1st rounders at one point.

Buffalo's asking price is the equivalent of 4 1st rounders so your best prospects and picks but the Sabres are running out of time to maximize their return on Eichel and may need to lower their demands if they want to get this done prior to training camp.

SHIT. I’ll probably buy a blank and then send it off later for customization. ThanKs for the heads up!

You know, I’m not a huge fan of the tier system that Adidas has gone with for the jerseys. I wish that they would allow the on ice jersey as the true authentic instead of passing off a replica as the retail “authentic” and then charging more for it.

The Chicago Blackhawks signed defenseman Connor Murphy to a four-year extension with an annual cap hit of $4.4 million, the team announced Tuesday.
Murphy was set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2021-22 campaign as he enters the final season of a six-year deal that carries an average annual value of $3.85 million.
Chicago acquired Murphy in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes during the 2017 draft. In four seasons with the Blackhawks, the 28-year-old has 61 points in 236 games.
"When we acquired Connor in the summer of 2017, we had visions of him growing as both a player and leader in our organization for many years," Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said. "He has transformed into a defenseman capable of matching up with the opponent's best players and someone we trust to help us preserve a lead in the final minutes."
Murphy shouldered the second-highest average ice time per game (22:09) among all Blackhawks defensemen during the 2020-21 campaign.
With this new deal under his belt, Murphy is now signed through the 2025-26 season. Chicago's longest-tenured active defenseman has cemented his place on the team's revamped blue line alongside Seth Jones and Jake McCabe.
The then-Phoenix Coyotes drafted Murphy with the 20th overall pick in 2011.

Part of me hopes that the Hawks win the Cup only so the VGK can have the biggest meltdown ever. But of course most of me hopes that doesn’t happen because of their coverup.
