Tyler Seguin's First Big Contract Coming Into Focus After Taylor Hall, Jeff Skinner Get New Deals
NESN 8/23/2012
The primary narrative leading up to and into the 2010 NHL entry draft was the fact that Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin would be linked throughout their entire careers. They had battled each other through the junior ranks and were the consensus Nos. 1 and 2 picks in the draft. Things went exactly that way on draft night in Los Angeles, with Hall going first to Edmonton and Seguin landing in the Bruins' laps at No. 2. Their careers continue to be compared, and the next comparison will be coming sooner than later. Hall signed a new seven-year extension on Wednesday worth a reported $6 million per season. Now, we sit and wait for the B's to extend Seguin so we can start the next comparison between the two young forwards.
This is the Facebook posting Monday night of Stephane Roy, the brother of Patrick. That posting and the events that happened because of it have created one of the more bizarre days of my 22-year reporting career at the Post. That post is clear enough – a couple of spelling mistakes aside: “For a
First, a sigh of relief.

So about Seth Jones being a lock to be the No. 1 pick on June 30 by the Avalanche…
I talked with the team’s chief scout, Rick Pracey, today and he said reports of Jones being the prohibitive favorite to be the pick are extremely premature – and might be proven wrong.

The Chicago Blackhawks haven't faced adversity this season but they are most certainly in that position now thanks to the Red Wings.

It is difficult enough for the Rangers to win even when Henrik Lundqvist is at the top of his game. It is all but impossible for the Blueshirts to even come close when The King plays as if he’s a plebeian.
