Michael McCarron: Nashville Predators forward waived after reinstatement | The Tennessean
Michael McCarron was reinstated from the NHL’s player assistance program Wednesday.
He was placed on waivers because the team is up against the salary cap. If McCarron clears waivers (I’d assume that he will) and is not claimed by another team he will be assigned to Milwaukee of the AHL.

Bruins, Pastrnak progressing towards eight-year extension | TSN
Filip Forsberg’s agent (J.P. Barry) is hard at work again.
“I know that progress was made last week in the discussions between Don Sweeney of the Boston Bruins and Pastrnak’s agent, J.P. Barry,” said Dreger on Insider Trading Tuesday. “But, they still have work to do. They’re going to continue to grind at the details. Obviously that always comes down to the annual average salary. The term seems less contentious if – it’s at all contentious – it’s an eight-year maximum.”
The man loves 8-year deals. What can I say?
