“In a recent Slovak interview with Denník Šport, defenseman Šimon Nemec mentioned that he never fully recovered from a shoulder injury he suffered at the Olympic Qualifiers in August. ‘I’m especially bothered by my shoulder, it has been dragging on since (August),’ said Nemec, translated to English. ‘I didn’t have time to strengthen it enough. I especially want to use the summer for (fixing this). We decided that it would be better this way, and I will skip the World Championship this time.’” [The Hockey Writers]

Calder finalists:
The Islanders will pick at No. 1:
Kirill Kaprizov will remain with the Minnesota Wild, general manager Bill Guerin all but guaranteed on Tuesday. ‘My expectations are to get him signed. That’s it,’ Guerin said. ‘I’d like to get it done as soon as I can. Obviously, everybody knows how important Kirill is to the team and to the organization and to the market. He’s a star player. So, yeah, that’s priority No. 1.’” [NHL.com]
