HNIC:

nobody is trying harder to make move than Jim Rutherford

Stone and Duchene will want significant signing bonuses on their next contracts but Kypreos is not sure if Melnyk can or is willing to pay those out
2nd time Duchene's camp and Sens have met. No indication deal is close, but positive sign there is still ongoing discussions

Habs looking to move a d-man. They have a logjam when Weber comes back

Leafs don't feel like they need to move Nylander before Dec 1st. Comfortable with him sitting out a year if necesscary
Other teams think they can get Nylander to sign for closer to $7 mil than the previously rumored $8 million ask. And those teams will be comfortable paying that.

NHL wants more hitting.
GMs presented with video. NHL wanted to send out message of what was acceptable and that not because players are not sure what is clean, penalized, or suspendable anymore
They also don't want officials to overreact. Cited the Cole hit on Jankowski as an example of officials overreacting

GMs told that Seattle's entry in the league could be 2020 or 2021
Seattle ownership group very confident they could get arena ready in time for October 2020
