P. Maroon - F

Pat Maroon won his second Stanley Cup in a row Monday with two different teams.

Maroon was also a member of St. Louis' championship team last season and with the win on Monday, he became the eighth player in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup in consecutive seasons with different teams. He set up Blake Coleman for the second goal of the game Monday in a 2-0 win and finished the playoffs with a goal and six points in 25 games.

A. Ruotsalainen - F

BUF

Arttu Ruotsalainen has continued to score at an unreal pace in Finland.

Ruotsalainen has nine goals and 12 points in 10 games with Ilves Tampere in Finland's Liiga. That's got to be exciting news for the Sabres, who will give him a real chance to earn a roster spot during training camp. He was never drafted, but agreed to an entry-level contract with the Sabres back in May 2019.

J. DeBrusk - F

BOS

Jake DeBrusk and the Boston Bruins might end up agreeing to a short-term contract.

DeBrusk is a restricted free agent. A short-term contract would be more affordable and thus help the Bruins, who don't have a ton of cap space. It might also be beneficial for DeBrusk given the current financial state of the league. The pandemic has kept the salary cap flat and teams more conservative than usual with their money, so this is a far from ideal time to be a free agent. If DeBrusk agrees to a short-term deal, he can try again later in the hopes that the market will improve. Of course, he'd also be betting on the idea that he improves, which would be the single biggest factor in him potentially earning a bigger contract later. He had 19 goals and 35 points in 65 games last season. That was his third NHL campaign and he recorded 43 and 42 points in his first two seasons respectively. He's got some untapped potential, but so far he hasn't demonstrated that he's more than an okay secondary scorer.

CAR

The Carolina Hurricanes and Haydn Fleury have agreed to a two-year contract extension.

Both sides decided it was best to avoid salary arbitration and settle on a new deal. Fleury, 24, was the seventh overall pick back 2014 but never quite developed as the Hurricanes had hoped. The deal will pay him an average of $1.3 million per season.

An arbitrator has awarded Tyler Bertuzzi $3.5 million for next season.

Bertuzzi scored 21 goals and 48 points in 71 contests in 2019-20. He asked for $4.25 million in arbitration and the Red Wings countered was $3.15 million, so the ruling was closer to Detroit's request. He can become a restricted free agent again in the 2021 offseason.

Q. Byfield - F

There's a real chance that Quinton Byfield will make the Los Angeles Kings out of training camp next season.

"I definitely think I could step into the NHL next year, but I know it's a really big jump from the [Ontario Hockey League] and really challenging," Byfield said. "It's definitely going to be really challenging but I've worked my whole offseason with the pros quite a bit to help me translate easier." Kings GM Rob Blake thinks Byfield is physically ready to make the leap to the NHL and there's a possibility of him making the team. The Kings took him with the second overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He had 32 goals and 82 points in 45 OHL contests last season.

"Filip's a competitive player who works hard," said Senators GM Pierre Dorion. "He has applied himself to becoming an important player for us in Belleville. We're confident that work ethic will be equally as effective for him as he strives to become the same type of player in Ottawa."

D. Toews - D

COL

The Colorado Avalanche have signed Devon Toews to a four-year/$16.4 million deal.

The two sides were headed for arbitration on October 31 but this deal will keep Toews in Colorado for the next four seasons. He was dealt from the Islanders to Colorado two weeks ago for a pair of second round picks, one in 2021 and the other the following year. Toews had six goals and 28 points in 68 games for New York last season with 75 blocked shots and 55 hits. He should line up at a second pairing defenseman in Colorado and get 30-35 points if the NHL completes a full 82 game schedule. He should be drafted late in deeper leagues.

Ho-Sang, who was taken 28th overall in 2014, has yet to establish himself at the NHL level, and had only seven goals and 24 points in his 53 game NHL career.
