Rise and shine! Let’s check in on some news and notes:
– You may have heard that free agency began this weekend, and it was definitely something! George McPhee sure stayed busy. [Knights on Ice]
– You may have also heard that John Tavares left the Islanders to join his hometown Maple Leafs, so that’s pretty wild. [Pension Plan Puppets]
– Now, angry Islanders fans are setting Tavares jerseys on fire, and that’s always a well-thought-out decision.

– The focus may be on all the free agency news, but let’s not forget about the trades! There was a pretty massive one last night that sent Ryan O’Reilly to the Blues for, well, a bunch of stuff. [St. Louis Game Time]
– A lot of the big names are off the board, but what notable players are still available? I know one, and his name rhymes with Lames Jeal. [NHL]
