Craig Berube hopes to be back with the Maple Leafs next season<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Arun Srinivasan<\/strong><\/a>: Toronto Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said that he expects to be back next season, but he hasn\u2019t received any assurances from management and doesn\u2019t know needless to say.<\/p>\n

Will the Philadelphia Flyers give you the chance to land a middle this offseason?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NHL Rumour Report<\/strong><\/a>: Anthony Di Marco on Day by day Faceoff on the Philadelphia Flyers: \u201cGM Danny Briere goes to should move out bodies this summer if and when he adds a middle. It won\u2019t be Tyson Foerster, Porter Martone or Matvei Michkov, but I still do wonder if Owen Tippett is long for Philadelphia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will a sizeable gap result in Sergei Bobrovsky signing elsewhere for next season?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NHL Rumour Report<\/strong><\/a>: Greg Wyshynski on the The Sheet on Florida Panthers pending UFA goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky: \u201cI believe the situation with and Florida is pretty bad; I\u2019ve heard there’s a big gap in what he\u2019s in search of and what they\u2019re willing to offer him, and I even have a sense that they\u2019re gonna go in a distinct direction now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having Manny Malhotra coaching as well gives them one other good internal option in the event that they need to make a change behind the bench.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing that the Canucks did was give him a really, very lucrative contract, particular for a man that was working within the American League. Almost as an insurance policy, to be certain that, , that they were constructing towards the long run, even on the management side. And whether that\u2019s it, , and I believe they did the identical with Manny.<\/p>\n

The Vancouver Canucks and Elias Pettersson Must Have a Real Conversation<\/p>\n

So from that perspective, I believe that they\u2019re, they weren’t hedging their bets, but they were, , constructing a succession plan on the fly. And so I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see if Ryan Johnson gets a much bigger role within the Canucks starting within the summertime.\u201d<\/p>\n
