Snapshots: McLeod, Red Wings, Boudreau

September 4, 2022 at 7:24 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 5 Comments

With the Oilers having minimal cap flexibility (as it is, they likely need to clear money), Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal believes that RFA center Ryan McLeod will ultimately be forced to take a one-year contract.  The 22-year-old had 21 points in 71 games last season but doesn’t have much leverage on his side as it’s unlikely he’ll be offer-sheeted while the bulk of his NHL experience is from 2021-22.  Accordingly, Leavins posits that a one-year agreement might check in just above the league minimum which would help Edmonton’s cap situation but also give him arbitration rights next summer.

Elsewhere around the hockey world:

  • The Red Wings have invited prospect Ivan Ivan to rookie camp, the youngster confirmed to Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now. The 20-year-old went undrafted back in July despite a strong season with Cape Breton of the QMJHL where he had 31 goals and 34 assists in 65 games.  Ivan most recently suited up for the Czechs at the World Juniors last month and is eligible to play in the pros this season so even if he can’t earn an entry-level contract with Detroit, an AHL deal could still be a possibility.
  • Last season, Bruce Boudreau was the toast of the town in Vancouver as the new bench boss nearly led the Canucks to an improbable playoff appearance. Despite that, Adam Proteau of The Hockey News posits that the head coach is squarely on the hot seat for 2022-23.  The team is clearly in win-now mode and has returned its core from last season with a couple of additions and he wasn’t picked by current management as he was installed behind the bench before Patrik Allvin took over as GM.  Allvin declined to offer a contract extension after the season so Boudreau instead will coach on the final year of his deal.  Those factors will certainly put pressure on him early and often.

    @Brian – Uhh, maybe a slight adjustment is needed here – “…was the taste of the town…” I’d call Gabby “the toast of the town”, instead.

    Here’s hoping Vancouver doesn’t end up cutting their nose off to spite their face if they don’t keep him around, long-term. His voice can’t get old that fast.

    Ivan.

    Ivan.

    I hope they are at least pronounced differently like (eye-vohn) (eee-vohn).

    I thought the Wings had signed two guys when I first read it.
