Gabriel Vilardi has shown real courage here, opening up about lifelong mental health struggles in case it might help someone. He is not alone in the NHL or in life. I hope this story helps someone too ⤵️

The centralized draft is the source of, I don't know, two-thirds of my A1 relationships in the NHL. I'm guessing other people in hockey, whether media, teams, agents, etc. can give similar numbers. Bring it back, please and thanks.

Winnipeg Jets "captain's skates" have begun with a large group. They're not obligated to speak to media but the plan is for a couple of them to do so Tuesday and Wednesday. Rookie camp starts Friday. It's all happening! (Well... Hellebuyck trade TBD.)
