I obviously haven't been expecting them to name names or anything like that, but I was wondering when we were going to start hearing about how it's spread to the players' households. That just seemed inevitable. Brutal situation.

His name is Jakob Chychrun and he plays for the Coyotes, not the Ducks. But aside from those two incredibly minor errors anybody can make this tweet has brought to my attention that Chychrun is having a pretty terrific season. Tied for the league lead among defencemen in goals. 4th on the Coyotes in points. Leads the team in ice-time at 23:15 a game. Pretty solid underlying numbers too, especially for playing on Arizona. Finally starting to look more like the player people thought would be a lottery pick.

I'd totally forgotten that Jakob is the son of an NHLer.

But while McDavid made the top 10 on every survey, one NHL player personnel official and a veteran defenseman left MacKinnon completely off of their top 10s.

Excuse me?
 
Maybe it's me but Mackinnon rarely comes to mind when I think about great players in today's NHL. I know the numbers are there but I don't think I've seen an Avalanche game(aside from the ones against the Leafs) since he emerged and without high level international hockey he's kind of hidden away.

I kind of think that's the case for the Avalanche as a whole. They have a strong analytics group and are well managed both on and off the ice (look at that cap sheet and box scores), so there's almost no drama aside from the recent bowling memes.

Also, they are sporting Keaton Middleton on their taxi squad.

I've had the pleasure of having him lead my fantasy keeper team for a number of years now, so I probably keep more of an eye on him. I think they got him in the right spot at number 2 with Matthews at 3. Matthews should pass him though in the next year or so.

Earlier in the season, I would have absolutely agreed, but Price has been very good over the last month or so, while Allen is coming back to earth/regressing to his normal performance level. It doesn't hurt them as much as it would have a few years ago, but I don't think it helps them. Having to rely on Allen and an inexperienced backup for an extended period isn't an upgrade.
 
I'm surprised at the lack of trades leading up to the deadline especially with the 7 day quarantine rule for U.S. to Canada trades.

Will a trade go down today or tomorrow?
