Canadiens: What’s Next for Alexander Zharovsky?
As is often the case with Russian players, RG.org published an exclusive interview with the Montreal Canadiens’ first pick at the last draft, Alexander Zharovsky. As we’ve already reported, the 18-year-old is a childhood friend of Habs rookie Ivan Demidov, and he won’t be attending development camp. Still, it’s never too early to learn a little bit more about a Canadiens' prospect.
In the interview with RG’s Tuboltseva, the youngster gave some details about the whirlwind that was his last few days. He returned to Russia on Sunday after spending time in Florida, where he participated in the Gold Star showcase. This is an event put on by his agency that showcases its players. The youngsters trained and played scrimmages while scouts and executives observed. In the afternoon, they had the opportunity to speak with the team’s representative.

Canadiens Call Time On Cayden Primeau’s Stay In The Organization
Zharovsky met with the Canadiens at the showcase, but it wasn’t the only time he spoke to them. He had multiple interviews, and after the meeting at the showcase, they called again to ask more in-depth questions, which is when he thought things were getting serious.
The youngster was frank; he had hoped to be picked in the first round, but he’s happy he was picked early in the second round, and by a team as storied as the Canadiens. His last season was a great success in the MHL, where he was named Rookie of the Year following a 50-point (including 24 goals) output in 45 games. He was happy to make his KHL debut under former NHLer and current coach Viktor Kozlov.
The 6-foot-1 and 163-pound right winger knows what he needs to focus on this Summer; he plans on getting bigger, stronger, and faster. His debut in the KHL likely contributed to that realization, as he described the highest league in Russia as faster and more challenging than the junior league in which he spent his last season.
After being drafted by the Canadiens, he received a call from Nick Bobrov, Montreal’s co-director of scouting, who told him the team believes in him and his counting on him. Don’t expect Zharovsky to come over to North America soon though, he has a valid contract with his Russian team until the end of the 2026-2027 season, meaning Canadiens fans might have to wait two whole seasons before he makes his debut in the Habs organization, but judging by the highlights, he will be worth the wait. If you thought you were done chasing KHL highlights now that Demidov has a contract with the Habs, think again; you’ll want to see what Zharovsky is up to.

Vancouver Canucks Sign Goaltender Thatcher Demko To Three-Year Contract Extension
The Vancouver Canucks have officially locked up a big part of their core. With his current deal expiring at the end of the 2025–26, the Canucks agreed to a three-year, $8.5M AAV contract extension with goaltender Thatcher Demko. This move comes only a couple of months after the team signed newcomer Kevin Lankinen to a long-term, five-year deal. With both Demko and Lankinen in their ranks, Vancouver’s goaltending comes out to under $15M per year.
Demko was drafted 36th overall by the Canucks in 2014. Often referred to as the “goaltender of the future” in Canucks land throughout his time as a prospect, Demko spent nearly two full seasons with Vancouver’s AHL affiliate at the time, the Utica Comets, before making his NHL debut on March 31, 2018. He spent a little more time with the Comets before starting his first full NHL season as a backup to Jacob Markström in 2019–20.
The Bubble Playoffs were where Demko made himself known as a force to be reckoned with. After posting a pre-COVID-19 regular season record of 13–10–2, Demko was called to action during the second round of the 2020 Bubble Playoffs. An injury to Markström pushed Demko into the spotlight, where he backstopped his team to a Game 7 effort with a .985 SV%.

Vancouver Canucks Announce 2025-26 Pre-Season Schedule
Since 2021, Demko has taken the role of starting goaltender for the Canucks, save for the 2024–25 season in which he dealt with injuries. He has been named to two NHL All-Star Games (2022 and 2024) and finished second in Vezina Trophy voting in 2023–24 after winning 35 of his 51 starts and posting five shutouts.
With Demko now extended, the Canucks’ goaltending department looks to be getting more and more crowded. This also comes as a result of Artūrs Šilovs’ phenomenal play during the 2025 Calder Cup Playoffs, in which the prospect won 16 of the team's 24 games and registered five shutouts. Only time will tell what the Canucks decide to do with their three great goaltenders.

Panthers re-sign forward Tomas Nosek to one-year deal, per report
The Florida Panthers are doing their best to run it back after winning a second straight Stanley Cup.
An offseason that has included extending Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad and Brad Marchand now includes another re-signing of a key forward.
Just a few hours ahead of NHL Free Agency officially opening at noon on Tuesday, the Panthers inked Tomas Nosek to a new deal.
According to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, it’s a one-year deal worth $775,000.
Nosek deal is done with Florida, one year, $775k https://t.co/u03hxIZyC8
— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) July 1, 2025
That’s the same amount he signed with Florida for last summer, when he initially joined the Panthers.
Last season, Nosek played 59 games with Florida last season and another 16 during the playoffs. He was a primary member of the team’s penalty kill and centered a fourth line that Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice counted on nightly.
Maurice credited the re-insertion of Nosek’s line during Florida’s second-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs as the thing that turned the series around in the Panthers favor.
Following the Nosek deal, Florida is now $1.1 million over the salary cap.
During the offseason, teams can go up to 10% over the cap and have until Opening Night to become cap compliant.
The Panthers are likely not done making moves. We’ll see how the coming hours and days play out.

Former Wild Defenseman Signs Two-Year Contract With Washington

Chisholm, 25, recorded two goals and 12 points in 66 games for the Wild during the 2024-25 season. He was a restricted free agent but the Capitals signed him before he entered free agency.

Cardinals at Pirates Prediction: Odds, expert picks, starting pitchers, betting trends and stats for July 1
It's Tuesday, July 1 and the Cardinals (47-39) are in Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates (36-50). Andre Pallante is slated to take the mound for St. Louis against Paul Skenes for Pittsburgh.
The Pirates won the opening game of the series in shutout fashion, 7-0 as Andrew Heaney took a no-hitter into the sixth inning. The Cardinals are now 3-1 against the Pirates after the loss. The Buccos are tied for a season-long four-game winning streak and the Cardinals are 3-1 in the last four.
Pittsburgh has scored at least seven runs in four straight games and combined for 37 runs scored and a 4-0 record in that stretch. Their last loss? Five days ago when Skenes was on the bump and had his worst start of the season. Can the Buccos offense stay hot for Skenes or will they revert back to their normal selves? That's the story of this game.

Knicks set for second interview with Mike Brown, Dawn Staley not considered finalist: Sources
The New York Knicks’ search for a new head coach may be nearing a conclusion soon.
After conducting a first round of interviews over the last two weeks, the Knicks have formally invited Mike Brown back for a second interview, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, league sources tell . In addition, New York is considering bringing back both James Borrego and Micah Nori for second interviews, multiple league sources said.
Brown and former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins were the first two candidates interviewed.
During this process, the Knicks also reached out to South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley, league sources told . And while she impressed in that conversation, she is currently not considered a finalist for the position, league sources said.
Hiring a head coach would close a search that has undergone many twists and turns since New York fired Tom Thibodeau shortly after losing in the Eastern Conference finals.
Before interviewing Brown and Jenkins, the Knicks — who are conducting the only coaching search in the league — attempted to obtain permission to speak with multiple head coaches currently employed by other teams, including Houston’s Ime Udoka, Dallas’ Jason Kidd, Minnesota’s Chris Finch, and Chicago’s Billy Donovan. All of those requests were denied. Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison publicly shut down a potential Kidd-to-New York move last week during his news conference following the NBA Draft.
Brown, who appears to be the clubhouse leader for the job, was fired midway through last season by the Sacramento Kings. During his first two seasons with the Kings, Brown led them to their first back-to-back 40-plus-win seasons since 2004-2006. Brown previously coached the Cleveland Cavaliers to a finals run in 2007 and coached the Los Angeles Lakers briefly before spending several seasons as an assistant coach on Steve Kerr’s Golden State staff.
Borrego was the head coach of the Hornets from 2018 to 2022 and was fired after leading Charlotte to a 43-win campaign in his final season. After taking time off, Borrego spent last season as an assistant in New Orleans. Borrego comes from the Gregg Popovich coaching tree and is considered an offensive-minded, analytically-driven coach.
Nori is the only potential finalist without head coaching experience. He has been an NBA assistant for several years and is someone many in NBA circles believe will soon become a head coach. Nori has spent the last four years in Minnesota next to Finch. Before that, he was with Dwane Casey in both Detroit and Toronto, with stops in Denver and Sacramento in between. Nori is regarded as a creative offensive coach.
The Knicks’ search has taken them beyond the NBA Draft and into the early days of free agency. The team is limited in its financial capabilities, but, according to league sources, is expected to sign veteran bench scorer Jordan Clarkson once he clears waivers later this week. Clarkson and the Utah Jazz agreed to a buyout late last week.

Bruins overpay for Tanner Jeannot on Day 1 of NHL free agency
Bruins overpay for Tanner Jeannot on Day 1 of NHL free agency originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Boston Bruins have not fared very well in NHL free agency during Don Sweeney’s decade-long tenure as general manager, and his latest contract is a head-scratcher.
The B’s and left wing Tanner Jeannot have agreed to a five-year, $17 million contract, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. The deal carries a $3.4 million cap hit.
Jeannot is a physical player (sixth-most hits in the league over the last four years) who can sometimes add a scoring punch, but he has not been a productive offensive player for a while.
Jeannot scored 24 goals with the Predators during the 2021-22 season, but he has scored only 20 goals over the last three years combined. The 28-year-old left wing tallied 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in 67 games for the Kings last season.
A $3.4 million cap hit is a steep price for a player with one 10-goal season in his career and who will probably fill a bottom-six role for the Bruins. He also isn’t likely to be much of a factor on the power play or penalty kill.
Sure, the salary cap is expected to go up significantly in the coming years, but every dollar counts. And unless Jeannot rediscovers his goal-scoring form from the 2021-22 campaign, this contract will not age well.
The Bruins were one of the league’s worst offensive teams last season. They cannot afford to use up valuable cap space on players of Jeannot’s caliber.
Giving him a five-year deal was an odd move as well. A two- or three-year contract would have made more sense.
The Bruins now have around $5.3 million in cap space after signing Jeannot and trading for Edmonton Oilers left wing Viktor Arvidsson earlier on Tuesday.

Confirmed: Golden Knights Complete Sign-and-Trade For Mitch Marner
After a long saga with several curveballs and rumors, the Vegas Golden Knights have finally got their man, completing a sign-and-trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs, which will see Mitch Marner sign with the Golden Knights on an eight-year, $12-million AAV deal, and Nicolas Roy join the Maple Leafs.
Over the last couple of days, the Golden Knights and the Maple Leafs have been working hard to complete the sign-and-trade, which has opened up cap space for the Golden Knights, allowing them to sign Marner. The 28-year-old will play his first NHL games outside of Toronto after scoring 221 goals and 741 points in 657 career games.
His time with the Maple Leafs ends on a sour note, but the former fourth overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft was once hailed as the next homegrown talent who could help lead the Maple Leafs to win a Stanley Cup alongside Auston Matthews and William Nylander. With several playoff failures and fans growing frustrated with playoff shortcomings from Marner, he's decided to venture out of his comfort zone.
Marner is one of the best pure playmakers in the NHL and will likely spend the next eight years next to Jack Eichel, who is now eligible for a contract extension. Eichel and Marner have career highs in goals of 36 and 35, both of which will likely increase once the pair benefits from each other's stellar playmaking.
Heading the other way in the deal is Roy, a versatile 28-year-old forward who has been everything the Golden Knights have needed in their bottom-six. Prior to joining the Golden Knights, Roy had played just seven NHL games, but he leaves the franchise with 362 games of experience. With the Golden Knights, the 6-foot-4 center scored 68 goals and 166 assists.

With the Maple Leafs, Roy will be the third-line center they have been missing. Although he's a career 47.7-percent faceoff winner, the Maple Leafs have lacked a right-handed center, and he will fill that void nicely.
With two seasons left on a $3-million cap hit, Roy will provide the Maple Leafs with immense value and will be dearly missed in Vegas.
In all, the Golden Knights and general manager Kelly McCrimmon have once again been the most aggressive team in chasing the top fish to improve their team.

Report: Golden Knights Acquire Mitch Marner From Maple Leafs In Eight-Year DealAfter nine years with the Maple Leafs, Marner is officially headed to Vegas. Former Maple Leafs Star Mitch Marner To Wear No. 93 With Golden Knights
The Toronto Maple Leafs made their trade of Mitch Marner official on Tuesday morning.
After more than a year of speculation about the star player's future, the player signed a seven-year extension worth $12 million per season with the Vegas team. The team announced that the player will wear his favorite No. 93, in their official announcement of the deal.

Marner wore No. 93 during his time in Junior with the London Knights and the number is still associated with his social media handles despite the fact that he wore No. 16 with the Maple Leafs. The number was a dual tribute. The first being for his favorite player growing up, former Maple Leafs captain Doug Gilmour, and it was also the birth year for his older brother.
The No. 93 in Toronto is currently retired in Gilmour's honor.
Report: Maple Leafs Trade Mitch Marner To Vegas Golden Knights, Agrees To Eight-Year Deal Worth $12 Million AAVMitch Marner is on his way to Las Vegas.
Marner leaves Toronto as the club's fifth-leading point-getter of all time with 221 goals and 520 assists in 657 games. Had he stayed in Toronto, there was a good chance that his No. 16 could be retired someday. Now, his exit is being compared similar to that of Vince Carter with the Toronto Raptors when he requested to be moved.
In the end, time healed all wounds and Carter's number was eventually retired. Perhaps after some time, the same will happen for No. 16. But we'll see. Marner's first game back in Toronto next season will certainly be a must-see for a lot of reasons.

Giants exercise manager Bob Melvin's contract option for 2026 MLB season
Giants exercise manager Bob Melvin's contract option for 2026 MLB season originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
PHOENIX — The Giants are in the midst of the worst skid of the Buster Posey Era, and on Tuesday the new president of baseball operations gave a forceful response. It was not exactly what outsiders might have expected.
The Giants picked up the 2026 option on manager Bob Melvin’s contract, ending any speculation about his long-term job security at a time when the Giants have dropped six of seven and struggled to score runs or play clean baseball. In a statement announcing the decision, Posey said working with Melvin every day has shown him how “really fortunate (the Giants are) to have such an experienced leader and one of the most well-respected managers in baseball.”
“His leadership, preparation, and connection with our players have been invaluable, and we believe he’s the right person to continue guiding this team forward,” Posey continued.
Melvin, 63, is 125-122 in two seasons with his hometown team. This likely is to be his last managerial job in the big leagues, and the Giants got off to a stunningly strong start in his second season.
They had a rough June, but they still are five games above .500, and Melvin has been steady in the middle of the first big storm of the season. He has publicly backed his coaches, and Posey privately did so with several of them in recent days. On Tuesday, he went as far as he could for his manager.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue leading this group,” Melvin said. “I believe in what we’re building here, and I appreciate the confidence that the Giants ownership group, Greg, Buster, Larry, Zack and the rest of the Giants’ organization have shown in me and our staff. We have a lot of unfinished business this year, and I’m looking forward to the work ahead.”
