Do you see Pacioretty moved for C ( ROR perhaps ) , before the Draft ?
— Scott Thompson (@ScottTh66153768) June 11, 2018
I don't think a deal like this makes sense for Buffalo. I also don't think that ROR gets moved prior to the draft, I believe it could happen on the floor. I'm very aware that the Sabres would much rather get a 1st round pick in return, it just doesn't make sense to pull off a blockbuster within the division.
Every now and then I'm seeing stuff pop up about potential KHL expansion into places such as London, Milan, Beijing, Geneva, Oslo, etc. Any thoughts as to what the KHL's sentiment might be towards future European expansion? Is the general sentiment from fans any different?

I can assure you that the KHL will be expanding further into Europe once the league has taken care of the deduction process. A few more teams will have to leave the league before the next step in leagues development and expansion will be taken. Where could KHL be going next? I don't know for certain but the sense is that London is a lock.
what should we expect in terms of production from Kovalchuk if he comes back to the NHL?
— Matt Kalman (@MattKalman) June 11, 2018
I think he is good to go for anything over 50 points. I will be clearly shocked if it is anything under that.
Predictions on where Kovalchuk ends up?

I don't have the details necessary to speculate or predict on the matter however if I had to make a wild guess the Los Angeles Kings make sense to me. It's still very early into the process so my guess is as good as anyone's.
