BLUES TEAM NEWS CENTER

Alex Pietrangelo - D

St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are going to need to shed some salary in order to re-sign star defenseman Alex Pietrangelo.

Added Apr 19 9:33 am (EST)

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The Blues figured to be fine when the salary cap was projected to go up to as much as $88 million, but that was before the COVID-19 pandemic which has thrown the cap right out the window. The Blues have $79.4 million in commitments for the 2020-21 season and even if the cap holds at $81.5 million, it will not be enough to retain Pietrangelo's services. He was having a strong season before the pause, with 16 goals and 52 points in 70 games, two shy of his career high of 54 points set a couple of years earlier. Pietrangelo is a top-seven defenseman in the NHL and deserves to be drafted as such.

S. Couturier - F

PHI

Former NHLer Daniel Briere believes that Sean Couturier should win the 2019-20 Frank J. Selke Trophy.

"I think he’s the player that deserves it the most in the NHL this season with his play, the way he has led this team in the right direction," Briere said last month on NBC Sports Philadelphia's Flyers Talk podcast. "That’s what’s so great with the Flyers now, Sean can play against any of the top lines around the league, Kevin Hayes can also play against any of the top players around the league, if you need Claude Giroux to play some shifts in the middle, he can also play against any of the best players around the league." Briere, who played for the Flyers for six years, praised Couturier's smarts and reliability, while calling him a "complete player." Couturier was named the winner of the Bobby Clarke Trophy, which goes to the team MVP, for a second straight season on Friday.

F. Zadina - F

DET

Filip Zadina has been skating back home in the Czech Republic.

"I've been skating quite a bit, maybe two or three times a week," Zadina said. "I'm actually happy for that, that I could do that, because if I would not be on the ice the next two months, I would probably do bad things to myself because I miss being on the ice for sure." The 20-year-old forward has recovered from the injuries that kept him on the sidelines prior to the pause of the 2019-20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Zadina played well for the Red Wings, while posting eight goals and 15 points in 28 appearances. He will look to become a full-time member of the team next campaign.

I. Provorov - D

PHI

Ivan Provorov was selected as the Flyers 2019-20 Barry Ashbee Trophy.

The award goes to the Flyers "most outstanding defenseman," as determined by a panel of broadcasters and sports writers. Provorov had 13 goals and 36 points in 69 games this season before the pause. "It's just a great honor," Provorov said. "There are a lot of great defensemen that have played for the Flyers and have won this in the past. I think overall this year, our defense is a lot better. We're defending as a five-man unit, the forwards are backchecking, so it allows us to step up and get the puck back faster."

H. Lundqvist - G

NYR

Henrik Lundqvist skated on Thursday for the first time since heading back to New York.

Lundqvist had previously been in Europe. After coming back, he needed to be cleared before he could start participating in Phase 2 workouts. “Feels good to be back on the ice at the training center again," Lundqvist said on Instagram. He'll have a tough time getting a start in the playoffs though given that the Rangers also have goaltenders Alexandar Georgiev and Igor Shesterkin.

M. Seider - D

DET

Moritz Seider will be a player to watch for the Red Wings during next season's training camp.

Seider was taken with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. After scoring two goals and 22 points in 49 AHL games in 2019-20, the 19-year-old defenseman will have a real shot of making the Red Wings for the 2020-21 campaign. Even if he doesn't make the team out of training camp, he might end up making his debut next season after a bit more seasoning in the AHL. He's one to watch given his high offensive potential.
