The Utah Hockey Club traded for Mikhail Sergachev on Saturday in a shocking move. This deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning was the first of two moves they made at the 2024 NHL Draft.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Lightning Acquire Jake Guentzel in Trade With Hurricanes

Jake Guentzel signed a seven-year, $63 million contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday. It has an average annual value of $9 million. The 29-year-old forward was traded to the Lightning by the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday for a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and could have become an unrestricted free agent at noon ET Monday. He had 77 points (30 goals, 47 assists) in 67 regular-season games for the Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins last season, including 25 points (eight goals, 17 assists) in 17 games with the Hurricanes after he was acquired in a trade with the Penguins on March 7. Guentzel had nine points (four goals, five assists) in 11 Stanley Cup Playoff games for Carolina.

Each troll serves as a unique tribute to the place they inhabit, honoring the history and culture of the location.

It appears just hours after General Manager Julien BriseBois acquired him, that Jake Guentzel is the man. At this time it is just being classified as a report, because as Frank Seravalli himself admits, details will probably not come until the morning. However, what the reported news is, is that Jake Guentzel signs an extension with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Any team that had been involved in Guentzel discussions were serious about winning, because you are adding a winner. Now, on the same day that the Lightning acquired him via trade with the Carolina Hurricanes, they have reportedly signed him to a deal. Pierre LeBrun says the deal is going to be for seven years.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The New York Islanders needed to have a great draft, considering the state of their farm system and roster. The 2024 NHL Entry Draft, in which they had three selections in the first two rounds, allowed general manager (GM) Lou Lamoriello to make significant upgrades. The results are a mixed bag.

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins have made a small trade.

Lightning & Penguins Swap Forward Prospects

The 2024 NHL Entry Draft at the Sphere in Las Vegas marked the Utah Hockey Club’s first-ever draft. General manager Bill Armstrong was also active on the phone making three big trades. Utah selected forward Tij Iginla with their first-round selection at pick number six. Armstrong traded back into the first round at the 24th spot to take forward Cole Beaudoin. Trades were also made to better the blue line, bringing in defensemen Mikhail Sergachev and John Marino. However, despite the massive moves made over the past several days, Utah’s management continued to shadow similar approaches at this year’s draft as they did in previous years.

Utah GM Bill Armstrong Follows Past Strategies at 2024 NHL Draft

With the 2024 NHL Entry Draft wrapping up in Las Vegas on June 29, all 32 teams added plenty of hopeful future NHLers to their organizations. Some teams made surprising moves, while others found themselves getting possible steals. Grading drafts almost immediately after the conclusion of it (especially an NHL Draft) is tough and can certainly prove to be wrong down the road, but with that said, let’s take a shot at it and see what they all look like in a few seasons.

Grading Each Team’s 2024 Draft Class

It’s always a big day for the NHL when the draft comes around; each year, there’s a frenzy in the hours leading up to it. That follows from months of anticipation, supposition, and dreams for the young men up for grabs. As for the fans, they’ve long reserved their Friday night to watch the first round and are hoping and praying for their teams to hit a grand slam.

Kentucky coach Mark Pope has his first roster intact and is busy finalizing a schedule for next season and beyond. Pope said earlier this week that he’s “really close” to completing his first schedule at Kentucky.

Philadelphia, PA

The Philadelphia Flyers completed their first round of the 2024 NHL Draft, and, well, it was a shocker, to say the least. They made the most surprising pick of the night by taking Jett Luchanko with their 13th overall selection, who was a second-round graded player by many. With arguably the best defensive prospect that we have seen in the last few seasons, Zeev Buium, miraculously on the board but the Flyers choosing to trade back a spot, this was definitely a questionable decision.
