Connor McDavid revealed that he’s indifferent to public opinion Wednesday regarding the Edmonton Oilers potentially pursuing Evander Kane as a free agent.
"Right now, it's all speculation," McDavid told reporters on Wednesday. "Obviously, Evander is an amazing player and he's had lots of success over the last couple of years. Whatever else is going on, it's not something I look into much."
"I’m not really here to discuss optic issues. If fans don’t like it, or the media doesn’t like it, or whatever. It is what it is.”[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

The Russians are again favored to win gold after beating Germany in the 2018 final, thanks to the talent coming from the home-based Kontinental Hockey League that will shut down for the Olympics. The lack of NHL players throws even more uncertainty into the competition and the U.S., Canada, Finland and Sweden are all thinking they have a realistic chance of winning.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

Eichel will play in a few weeks, Golden Knights owner says
Center recovering from neck surgery
Jack Eichel's debut with the Vegas Golden Knights could be in "a few weeks," owner Bill Foley told "Vegas Hockey Hotline" on Friday.
"You saw him today. He's not that far off," Foley told the podcast. "... He's going to be ready to play."
The center skated with the Golden Knights on Jan. 11 for the first time since having artificial disk replacement surgery Nov. 12, eight days after Vegas acquired him in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. He told NHL Network on Nov. 5 he thought he'd be able to return to play three months after surgery, which would be the second week of February.
Eichel was projected to be the center on a line with Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone, but Pacioretty, who scored 12 goals in 16 games, is out indefinitely after having wrist surgery Dec. 30. He, Eichel, and defensemen Nicolas Hague (wrist) and Alec Martinez (face) are on long-term injured reserve.
"We're going to have to make some adjustments, but we do have a lot of guys that are kind of hurt," Foley said, referring to the NHL salary cap. "And we're kind of looking at that and making sure we don't do something prematurely with whoever's hurt and when they come back. We've had bad luck this year in terms of people getting injured. So, we do have a plan, some alternatives, but we're trying to hold off until we just really see how the injuries sort out over the next 25-30 days."
Eichel was traded to Vegas for forwards Peyton Krebs and Alex Tuch, a top 10 protected first-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, and a second-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, with the Golden Knights also receiving a third-round pick in the 2023 draft.
"We got really serious about it during preseason (in mid-September) because [the Sabres] kind of shopped him all around and there was so much cap pressure from a lot of the teams that were interested," Foley said. "And Buffalo wanted a lot, but then they started getting more realistic. ... Buffalo was smart. They held out, and they got a lot from us. ... They got a couple really good players, an up-and-coming guy and a guy who's proven he can already do it. And they got our first-round pick."
Eichel has not played since March 7, 2021. He scored 18 points (two goals, 16 assists) in 21 games last season and 355 points (139 goals, 216 assists) in 375 games in six seasons with Buffalo, including NHL career-highs in goals (36), assists (42) and points (78) in 68 games before the 2019-20 season was paused due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
Golden Knights president of hockey operations George McPhee said Jan. 11 that Eichel's timeline to play is unknown.
"We're two months today post-surgery, and we know that he's going to be able to come back between three and five months," McPhee told Sportsnet 590. "I think he feels fantastic. It couldn't have gone any better than it has so far. But the next part will be probably the hardest in terms of when is he ready for contact and that sort of thing. So we don't have a specific date in mind, and that's probably a good thing so as to not put any pressure on him. ... Whenever he's ready, he's ready, and we'll get him in there."

Last Men In for 2022 NHL All-Star Game announced
Kadri, Stamkos, Terry, Guentzel added to rosters for Feb. 5 game in Las Vegas
Nazem Kadri, Steven Stamkos, Troy Terry and Jake Guentzel have been named the Last Men In for the 2022 Honda NHL All-Star Game.
Kadri of the Colorado Avalanche (Central Division), Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning (Atlantic) and Terry of the Anaheim Ducks (Pacific) won the fan vote for their respective divisions and will be added to the rosters for the All-Star Game to be played at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Feb. 5 (3 p.m. ET; ABC, SN, TVAS).
New York Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad won the fan vote in the Metropolitan Division but cannot attend because of personal reasons. Guentzel of the Pittsburgh Penguins finished second in the voting and will take his place.
Kadri was the top vote-getter in the fan vote that ended Monday at 11:59 p.m. The forward received more than double the number of votes of the second-place finisher in the Central. The 31-year-old has never played in the All-Star Game in 13 NHL seasons. Terry and Guentzel also will play in the NHL All-Star Game for the first time.
