William Morrow+FollowDuchene Stays: Stars Lock Down Key PieceBig news out of Dallas—Matt Duchene, aka the Stars’ Swiss Army Knife, isn’t hitting the open market after all. He’s inked a four-year extension, keeping him in Big D through 2029. After another deep playoff run, the Stars clearly see Duchene as crucial to finally breaking through in the West. With 82 points last season, he’s earned it. Does this move make Dallas the team to beat, or do they still need more firepower to top their rivals? #DallasStars #NHLFreeAgency #MattDuchene #Sports #IceHockey00Share

Sherri West+FollowTkachuk Tells Panthers Stars: Chase the Bag!Big Walt’s son isn’t mincing words—Matthew Tkachuk just told Ekblad, Marchand, and Conn Smythe hero Sam Bennett to cash in this summer, even if it means leaving the Cats. With Florida’s core hitting free agency, Tkachuk’s player-first stance might give GM Zito a headache. But after back-to-back Cups, can the Panthers keep the band together? Zito says they’ll spend to the cap, but Tkachuk’s loyalty is clearly to his teammates’ wallets. Thoughts on this bold move? #Panthers #NHLFreeAgency #StanleyCup00Share
Jason Dawson+FollowBennett Shuts Down Leafs Rumors—Why?Playoff beast Sam Bennett, fresh off helping the Cats snag back-to-back Cups, is about to hit free agency—but don’t expect him to suit up for the Leafs.

Phillip Scott+FollowTavares Discount Dreams Fading Fast?Looks like Captain JT isn’t giving the Buds a hometown discount after all.
