1. The lesson of the Brayden Point negotiation? Everything can change with one phone call. Months of inertia, and a lengthy Sunday conversation gets it done. Of the remaining restricted free agents, the one most affected is Patrik Laine. Point was always going to be a bridge and Laine is likely to be. Calgary and Matthew Tkachuk were looking at five- and six-year terms (although that could have changed), Kyle Connor and Winnipeg have been around four-to-six years, and Colorado’s made it very clear it wants term with Mikko Rantanen.
