I have to say the Canucks are a surprise against the defending champion Blues. Hovart's been scoring some incredible goals for Vancouver.

Detroit will hand Howard another contract. I think the guy's got unfinished business and wants to keep playing for another couple of years.

Jimmy Howard, $5.3m (2017-2020)  #17 G 18/19   $7.3m (2020-2024)

If Howard signs with another NHL team, will I be able to get the Franchise Player discount on Howard? I'm guessing my franchise drafted him. How can I verify that information (ex. get access the the 2011 Fantrax site to check)?

Detroit is ready to make a deal. Offers are welcome.

New York Islanders GM will sign extensions with these players before the off season: (Using the highest rank for each of the years 2018/19 and 2019/20 as per league extension rules)

Keith Yandle, $4.4m (2017-2020)  #26 D 18/19   $5.3m (2019-2022)

Brayden Schenn, $6.9m (2016-2020)  #17 C 19/20   $6.4m (2019-2023)  also LW, RW

Lars Eller, $1.9m (2017-2020)  #59 C 19/20   $3.0m (2019-2022)

Zach Hyman, $2.3m (2017-2020)  #56 C 18/19   $3.2m (2019-2022)

After reviewing the salaries on the Islanders and tabulating total payroll salaries, we found two accounting anomalies to be corrected:
1. Total for Defense listed at $21.3m has an actual value of $20.3m
2. Total for Left Wing listed at $16.3m should show an actual value of $14.9m
These edits would enable the New York Islanders to complete the extensions for the players listed above as indicated.

Islanders will sign extensions with these players in the off season:
Mikko Rantanen, $1.5m (2017-2020)  #17 RW 18/19   $7.7m (2020-2024)

Joonas Donskoi, $0.6m (2018-2020)  #115 RW 19/20   $0.7m (2020-2022)

Robby Fabbri, $0.6m (2018-2020)  #133 RW 19/20   $0.7m (2020-2022) 

Mike Reilly, $0.9m (2018-2020) #153 D 19/20   $1.2m (2020-2022)

Please advise if there are any inaccurate calculations for the above listed extension contracts posted. Many Thanks for everyone's PM help understanding how to get these contracts resigned.

The Mets and their disproportionate fan cardboard cutout heads scattered through the stands is a sad example of a league that has questionable judgement and operates with a eye on financial gain rather than a genuine fan experience. I swore off baseball after the sign stealing fiasco.
