Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is pleased with how the club's front office conducted business this summer. "They've had a great offseason so far," McDavid told TSN. "It's been short, it's been hurried, but I think in the small time they've been at it, they've done great things. Keeping this many guys together is a good thing. In the salary-cap era, it's tough to do that."

Horoscope for Tuesday, July 16th

After a dominant 132-point season capped off by a 42-point playoff run, there is no question that Connor McDavid is one of the most talented hockey players to ever play the sport. At just 27 years old, McDavid is already closing in on 1,000 points. After the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, McDavid currently has 982 points in 645 career regular season games. There is a good chance that he can become the third-fastest player to reach 1,000 points in NHL history.

Marchenko is pushing for a longer-term deal, but with Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell only in his second month on the job, it appears he is doing his due diligence before considering a longer pact with the 23-year-old.

Alex Vlasic appears to be entering his Man of the People Era. Fresh off starting his summer with a six-year contract extension, Vlasic has been making the rounds with Blackhawks social media. Last weekend he got to check out the NASCAR race in Chicago, and this week he stopped by the Windy City Cookout. I’m low key all in for Vlasic to start being one of the faces of the franchise. But… it’s gotta be hard to sneak a 6-6 defenseman in and out of some of these events.
