If Mats Zuccarello doesn't sign with theRangers on July 1, it's fair to say the hockey world will be shocked.Traded to the Dallas Stars,emotions have runhigh for Zuccarello and his former teammates.

Netminder Henrik Harrison Butker Jersey Lundqvist, who played with the Norwegian star for all nine of hisseasons in New York, about him following the Rangers first game without Zuccarello.On Tuesday, when asked about the video, Zuccarello told reporters, Hes Sammy Watkins Jersey a good actor."Henrik Lundqvist gets choked up talking about the Mats Zuccarello trade.We're with ya Hank. MSG Networks (@MSGNetworks) Rangers head coach David Quinn has also stated alonging for his former player.David Quinn on Zucc: I mi s him.

"It sucks that I can't play, but I'll be watching. Still excited to have the guys here."

The Flames identified their fall guy for a disappointing2017-18 season, in a reboot just two years into their tenure.Calgary entered the season with high expectations on the heels of a promising 2016-17, but took a step back inGulutzan'ssecond year, finishing 11 points out of a playoff spot. The fiery coach failed to make the most of a talented but imperfect roster, which seemed to lack for emotional investment , leading to an organizational decision to move on.(Gulutzan)didnt get our team to the point that I thought we needed to get to," , adding that "there is lots of blame to go around.""I thought we underperformed and we had players that underperformed."GOLDEN STANDARD All told,Treliving, hired in 2014, bears responsibility for roster construction, but his job is safe for the time being. He'll lead the franchise'sfifth coaching search in 10 years, which Treliving said will carry a preference for those with NHL experience.The Flames have gone the retread route in back-to-back coaching hires under Treliving. Given their status as a team on the fringe of playoff contention,helmedby a veteran incumbent GM, Tyler Ervin Jersey look for the teamtoopt for asafer, established hire or someone with deepfamiliarityof the players already on the roster, which is bound to look vastly different next season outside the core of Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and Co.I think having experience in this league is critical. I think knowing the league is an important aspect, Trelivingsaid. Theres candidates that have coached in the league. Theres lots of candidates, some that may still be working.Let's take a look at five candidates who could be a fit, listed in no particular order.Dave TippettCurrent job: Free agentAge: 56NHL record: 553-413-120(.563)Tippett's name will be the one most commonly a sociated with the Flames opening. He has a relationship withTreliving, who was a sistant general manager for the Coyotes in 2009 when the team hired Tippett as head coach. Tippett won the Jack Adams that year, guiding the Coyotesto a 28-point improvementand a berth in the Western Conference finals. He's been biding Trace McSorley Jersey his time since his ouster from Arizona last year,waiting for the right situation, and is considered one of the more esteemed options on the market. There may not be a more perfect fit for the Flames.Bill PetersCurrent job: Hurricanes head coachAge: 51NHL record: 137-138-53 (.498)Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon often waxes poetic about Peters' coaching philosophies and a belief he can be the answer to Carolina's turnaround, but it isn't clear if the feeling is mutual. Dundon is having trouble filling the vacant general manager position, . Peters' contract includes an out clause which allows him to speak to other teams, and he has been taking advantage.Interesting game of cat and mouse going on in CAR with head coach Bill Peters and owner Tom Dundon. Peters, for now, Matt Skura Jersey has option to leave CAR. Sense is Peters strong preference is to NOT return. He is a candidate in CGY/DAL and belief is the Albertans preference is to go home. Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) Meanwhile, the sense is Dundon also has a strong preference for Peters to NOT come back. If Peters exercises his option to leave, Dundon is off the hook for Peters contract and would be free to name a new head coach. Perhaps Rod BrindAmour. Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) But if Peters doesnt use option to leave, if timing and/or prospects of CGY/DAL job dont materialize during window, Peters may not be eager to walk away from CAR with $ (one year) still on table. May prefer to be fired, but Dundon doesnt like firing, prefers rea signing. Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) So even though it appears Peters would strongly prefer to leave CAR and Dundon would strongly prefer him to leave, the circumstances of a potential departure have financial implications for both, so it all could get a little sticky. Unle s Peters gets hired quickly elsewhere. Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) The tie to Treliving is there: Peters was the GM's pick to coach Team Canada at the 2016 world championships. Peters hasn't made the playoffs in four seasons in Raleigh, but he's respected in NHL circles for his emphasis on po se sion analytics, something Trelivingwanted to become an organizationalpriority when hiring Gulutzan.Ryan HuskaCurrent job: Stockton Heat (AHL) head coachAge: 42NHL record: 0-0-0Huskais already highlyregarded within the Flames organization for his work at the AHLlevel, leading the Heat (and Adirondack Flames) toa 135-118-27record in four seasons, including consecutive Calder Cup playoff berths. Along the way, he's Miles Boykin Jersey worked with a number of players on the Flames' young roster, and that roster may be younger still a year from now.Huska's experiencecould make him anexception to the veteran look.Darryl SutterCurrent job: Free agentAge: 59NHL record: 634-467-83 (.565)A Sutter reunion might be theremedy theFlames don't know they need. Everyone's favorite Alberta curmudgeon spent eight years in Calgary beginning in 2002, including three on the bench(107-73-15-15), holding the title of both coach and general manager during the Flames' run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2004. In 2006, Sutterremoved himself from coaching duties, then went on to oversee six seasons of relative mediocrity from the front office(with three different coaches) until stepping down in 2010. He took the Kings job a year later and won a pair of Stanley Cups, but eventually the act grew stale in Los Angeles, too.Flames fans were thankful eight years ago to rid the organization of Sutter's stuffine s, so his return may not inspire much enthusiasm. Still, he's a proven, steady force who'sbuilt up enough good will to be considered for another job with a team looking to apply a coarse, veteran touch.Todd Lamar Jackson Jersey ReirdenCurrent job: Capitals a sistant coachAge: 46NHL record: 0-0-0Reirden is renowned for his ability to develop young talent. Every year, his name surfaces in coaching rumors, but Capitals have blocked him from interviewing for open jobs in recent seasons. His availability could be in doubt again should Barry Trotz become the fall guy after another failed playoff run, in which case Reirden would be a top option to slide into that job. But it's just a matter of time until his gets a head-coaching shot. Before Washington, Reirden was an a sistant with the Penguins under Dan Bylsma.

SUNRISE, Fla. Oliver Kylington could have gone 15th overall. He probably should have gone somewhere after that. Instead, he Ed Dickson Jersey was the 60th pick in the NHL Draft and the offensively gifted Swedish defenseman is fine with that."I think it's better for me. I think it's (making) me want to show everybody that maybe you should've picked me 15th. It's making me want to keep going and work harder and stuff like that, but I don't care right now," he said after the Flames traded up to get him. "I'm just happy to be part of Calgary and just try to make the NHL as soon as po sible."MORE: | | | Calgary was always a potential landing spot for him; he had discu sions with scout Bobby MacMillan and went to dinner with the team's front office staff at the Combine. At the time, they held the 15th pick. That's not what came Will Dissly Jersey to pa s; Calgary sent that pick and their second-rounder to Boston on Friday as part of the Dougie Hamilton trade.Logic would dictate that the move would have taken Calgary out of the Kylington game, though he said that didn't particularly cro s his mind. Afterward, the slide was on; Boston pa sed on him (and a handful of other high-upside Marshawn Lynch Jersey guys) with the 13th, 14th and 15th picks."It was a bit tough," Kylington said. "Yeah, it was a bit tough. I was nervous, sitting there (and waiting)."MORE: | Kylington's skating is his strong suit. It's what landed him in the top 30 of most draft rankings. compared him to Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie. TSN's Craig Button ranked him 24th and evoked Keith Yandle. ESPN's Corey Pronman had him as the best player not selected in the first round.So, why did he drop? An up-and-down season that saw Kylington bounce between Sweden's top two pro leagues and an injury that kept him out of the World Junior Championships."You have to love the skating, you have to love the offense but what scouts grouse about with Kylington is his consistency," Marek said. "Some nights its just not there. Wonderfully gifted skater, one of the best in the draft but is that enough right now to risk a high selection?"The questions were enough to take him from Central Scouting's top-ranked European skater at the midpoint of the season to the sixth immediately ahead of Ethan Pocic Jersey the draft. He has a contract with AIK next season, which he said is his focus. Next up: training in Spain with Blackhawks defenseman Johnny Oduya. Their fathers are friends, and Oduya has turned into a mentor for Kylington."Of course. I don't want to say 'I'm gonna play in the NHL next year,' but you never know," he said. "I'm just focusing (on having) a great season with AIK right now."Whenever Kylington makes it to Calgary, the Flames will D.J. Fluker Jersey have the option of pairing him with Hamilton. Kylington is a left shot, and Hamilton is a right, if you're really into looking ahead. Kylington is not, though, and that could be for the best.
