\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCould Mark Stone need a year off to heal?<\/p>\n
Nick Kypreos on Sportsnet<\/a>: There are some people who are wondering if Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone<\/a> is going to be able to play next season. Some think he may be in a situation similar to Alex Pietrangelo<\/a>, where his body is breaking down, and he needs an extended period of time off. The soon-to-be 34-year-old has a year left on his deal.<\/p>\n Alex Ovechkin isn\u2019t interested in a farewell tour<\/p>\n NHL Rumour Report<\/a>: Nick Kypreos<\/a> on Sportsnet on Alex Ovechkin<\/a>\u2018s future: \u201cAlex Ovechkin has kept his cards very close to the vest; What I\u2019ve heard is that he\u2019s never been interested in a farewell tour; Ovechkin liked the way Gretzky did it\u2026announcing two days before his last regular-season game.\u201d<\/p>\n Top NHL Trade Deadline Moves That Could Change Playoff Contenders<\/a><\/p>\n Does Mason McTavish have a long-term future in Anaheim?<\/p>\n Daily Faceoff<\/a>: Tyler Yaremchuk and Felix Sicard (of Crash the Pond) talk about Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish<\/a>, who was made a healthy scratch. Does he have a long-term future in Anaheim, and will that be a conversation that happens in the offseason?<\/p>\n Sicard: \u201cIt\u2019s a tough one because McTavish is a guy who I think that they\u2019ve seen as a cornerstone. I think that part of the reason that they traded Trevor Zegras<\/a> is because they saw Mason McTavish as the 2C of the future and the present, and this season, he just hasn\u2019t lived up to it.<\/p>\n Maybe it\u2019s because he came into camp late because of the contract dispute. Maybe it\u2019s because of the new coaching style. Who knows? But he just hasn\u2019t really risen to the team success, and it speaks again, how well they\u2019ve done that he\u2019s got 32 points, and they are where they are.<\/p>\n
