Morning Skate: Sabres' Cody McCormick hangs 'em up

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while counting down the moments until I can see Spider-Man: Homecoming.

*Buffalo energy guy Cody McCormick is done playing in the NHL but hopes professional hockey remains in his life moving forward.

*PHT writer James O’Brien has Dan Girardi not bitter about being bought out by the Rangers but said it did shock the longtime New York D-man.

*Flyers second overall pick Nolan Patrick is expected to resume skating next week after a corrective abdominal surgery.

*The jilted Nashville Predators anthem singer continues to give interviews says that he’s done with the Predators after saying he feels like he was given shoddy treatment in the playoff run. What do I say? Get over it, dude. Turn the page. You sound like a crybaby. Everybody would rather see Country Western superstars doing the anthems during the playoffs, and you were extremely lucky to be singing the anthem for NHL regular season games in the first place.

*Here are five teams that still make sense as trade partners with the Colorado Avalanche for Matt Duchene. Is one of them the Bruins? Well, you’ll have to click on the story and read it to actually find out.

*The heavy lifting of Connor McDavid’s contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers is going to clear the way for Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

*For something completely different: Sounds like the UFC hype machine is in full effect after a decent bout on Friday night.
