mike babcock

We joked last week that Mike Babcock and Johnny Gaudreau wouldn't last...we didn't expect one of them wouldn't make it to the opening of their first training camp together. As the other camps open, the Leafs are trying Nylander at centre and the Oilers are just hoping Jack Campbell can get close to his past form. The PWHL has its first draft.

We're back for another summer episode of ScuttlePuck as we start to ramp up to another season. The GMs held a meeting in September which was a first, and the coaches were invited. What's up? Surprisingly, it sounds like the Jets will start the year with Hellebuyck and Scheiffele in the lineup. How long will that last?

Arizona Coyotes -

“They’re working away at resolving the uncertainty around where they’re going to play long term,” said Bettman, who added that the league must know definitive plans by midseason because it needs to focus on building next year’s schedule.Remember, Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith is waiting in Salt Lake City with open arms if the Coyotes can’t resolve this over the next few months.”

That’s the first I’ve heard that short a timeline on the Coyotes getting resolution

Bowman and Quenneville spoke to the 32 coaches and 32 GMs about their experiences and lessons learned from the Chicago scandal. No details of discussion released by NHL or these two. Bill Armstrong said, “That was about leadership and responsibility and about, if something does come up, how to handle things thoroughly,” said Arizona Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong. “You have to address it, investigate it, and it’s your responsibility as a leader to go above and beyond to make sure it’s dealt with. And that the league’s perspective, too.”

- what does this tell us about their status? Prospects to enter league again?

- Quenneville working with Brock McGillis

- Bowman working with Sheldon Kennedy
