Kopitar Extended. New team on Stamkos? Update on Drouin?

per Bob McKenzie...Anze Kopitar has been Extended for 8 years at 10 million per AAV.

This sets the stage for Stamkos and may make the possibility of Stamkos moving MUCH greater. Also, keep a close eye on the Red Wings in the Stamkos sweepstakes...there are some very interesting signs that Detroit may be a factor.

And along those lines...

The Jonathan Drouin sweeps are coming into focus, despite the fact we don't appear any closer to a resolution....

per my sources: (as of January 13th noon)

Minnesota and NY Rangers are out.

Montreal, Anaheim and St. Louis are in...

We will discuss this at 3pm today on the HockeyBuzzcast...
