Saturday is shaping up to be an important day in the Steven Stamkos saga, writes TSN’s Frank Seravelli.  The interview period with pending unrestricted free agents kicks off on Saturday, meaning that the Lightning have less than 48 hours left of exclusive negotiating rights with their captain.  As a result, GM Steve Yzerman may have to deliver his best offer to Stamkos by Friday before other teams have an opportunity to make their pitch.

Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman shrugged at Evgeni Malkin rumors reports Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune. Bowman touched on a number of subject while speaking to the media on a conference call. Bowman confirmed that while he has been in talks with Andrew Shaw’s agent, no progress has been made. A source revealed to the Tribune yesterday that both Shaw and possibly Marcus Kruger could be moved if need be. Regarding the Malkin rumors, Bowman indicated he wouldn’t comment on individual player rumors. The noise regarding Shaw and Kruger’s availability only intensified the speculation that Chicago was truly investigating a trade for Malkin. Speculation, Bowman insists, is just that and that discussions will be ongoing during a time where general managers are working in close quarters.

On defense, the Post lists Olli Juolevi,   Mikhail Sergachev, and Jakob Chychrun as possibilities. Director of Amateur Scouting Alan Hepple was quoted as saying that they don’t believe any goalies are worthy of a Top 10 pick.
  • Ed Willes of The Province writes that Milan Lucic has to be at the top of Vancouver’s wish list. Yesterday, Lucic and the Kings broke off negotiations, enabling Lucic to hit the open market. While the winger is expected to have a number of teams after him, the former Vancouver Giant indicated that he was keeping his options open once July 1 hits.

The Vancouver Canucks have announced the re-signing of forward Sven Baertschi to a 2 year contract.  The deal will pay him $1.7MM in 2016-17 and $2MM in 2017-18, resulting in a cap hit of $1.85MM.  That represents a sizable jump from the $900,000 in salary he earned in 2015-16.

Baertschi played in 69 games with Vancouver last season, posting career highs in goals (15), assists (13), and points (28) while averaging 13:27 per game in ice time.

The 23 year old was originally a first round pick of Calgary (13th overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft before being traded to Vancouver at the 2015 trade deadline.  In his career, Baertschi has played in a total of 138 NHL games, scoring 25 goals while adding 33 assists.

The Canucks still have a pair of restricted free agent forwards to re-sign this offseason, Emerson Etem and Linden Vey.
