"Quick note from vacation: [--]. It was never guaranteed Kirby Dach would be ready for the start of training camp AND it is also premature to suggest he won't be. [--]. Suggestions Dach has had a setback in his recovery are completely false. Not only has he not had a setback he's progressing really well and according to my sources is crushing his summer training. That's all. Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine"

"Down at NHL coaches/GMs meeting where I caught up with USA Hockeys Bill Guerin. Asked him about Lane Hutsons absence from USAs Olympic orientation camp. His answer: This is the deepest crop of goaltenders defencemen and forwards USAs ever had. Lane is an excellent player with a bright future and hell have every opportunity to continue to prove himself"

"Writing up an interview I did with Habs GM Kent Hughes for @Sportsnet but since Carey Price's name is flapping in the wind here's a comment from him on Price's situation and MTL's cap compliance: "Were fine. We dont have to trade Carey Price. If we can find a trade to move his contract that makes sense for us and makes sense for another team well pursue it. But we dont have to.""

"My own opinion: Price's contract will likely get moved. Potentially in the hours or days or eventually before the season starts. But Hughes isn't too interested in overpaying to move it and he's right about not needing to move it at all. Three teams are currently over the cap but none are over the off-season allowance and all can resolve it through LTIR on the eve of the season"
