Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk isn't ready to commit to a long-term seven- or eight-year contract with the club, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
It's expected the league's salary cap should be much higher in a few years once the losses from the COVID-19 pandemic are recuperated. The rise would provide Tkachuk with more flexibility and possibilities on a long-term deal.
Tkachuk is one of the final restricted free agents left to be signed in the NHL with the 2021-22 season less than a week away. Head coach D.J. Smith said on Tuesday he must prepare to start the season without his star forward.
The Senators are in the midst of a complete rebuild and boast a considerable amount of youthful talent in the lineup. In September, general manager Pierre Dorion said the rebuild is complete and he feels it's time for the club to start winning again.

That would be useful if they include all of the espn+/Hulu nonsense. I’ll check that out.

No way! My pee-wee football team always had like an end of season banquet and we would get some rookie every year who would inevitably be cut, but one year we got Rod Woodson! Like he showed to the banquet at this crappy restaurant, ate, signed all of our programs and then he goes on to be a hall of famer. He seemed like a decent enough dude.

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will miss the start of the regular season as he recovers from a non-COVID-19 illness, head coach Dominique Ducharme announced Wednesday, per Sportsnet's Eric Engels.
The plan is to ease Price back into the lineup. The veteran goaltender isn't expected to practice with the team before Montreal's season opens Oct. 13.
Price is also healing from offseason knee surgery. The 34-year-old was sidelined through the summer after having an operation on a torn meniscus.
Jake Allen will assume Montreal's starting job with Price out.
Price posted a .901 save percentage in 25 regular-season starts in 2020-21. He elevated his game significantly in the playoffs, registering a .924 clip in 22 contests as the Canadiens lost in the Stanley Cup Final.

I have one celebrity hockey event in my life that tops my Rod Woodson autograph.
I was walking up Negley Ave to catch the bus to downtown Pgh after school one day and this white van was slowly coming at me in the opposite direction. This guy sticks his head out the window, waves, and yells in a heavily accented voice "hah-lo" I just thought some jerk was being a jerk, but then I recognize him. It's Jean Claude Van Damme! Sudden death was being filmed so I guess he was on his way to go kick some terrorist ass or something.

Holy shit I remember that movie
and how it was filmed 
at the old Civic Arena aka "The Igloo". I thought it was the coolest 
thing back in the day. If my memory serves me correctly, Lucky Luc Robitaille is in that movie as well

New York Rangers enforcer Ryan Reaves is day-to-day with a lower-body injury after colliding with P.K. Subban in the first period of Wednesday's exhibition contest versus the New Jersey Devils, Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant said postgame, according to NHL.com's Dan Rosen.
Subban's skate clipped Reaves' leg as they went into the corner for a loose puck. Reaves, 34, fell awkwardly and couldn't put pressure on his left leg as he left the ice.
The Rangers acquired Reaves from the Vegas Golden Knights this past offseason.

I'm pretty pissed about this. I hate waivers sometimes.
