That&#8217;s not going to go live until next week though. <\/p>\n<p>Now onto the news! I bet there&#8217;s lots. <\/p>\n<p>Since Friday Maxim Tsyplakov signed a deal for $2.25M with the Islanders avoiding arbitration. Nikita Alexander signed with the Blues (I have no idea who that is), and Arvid Soderblom signed for $2.75M with Chicago also avoiding arbitration. As mentioned yesterday, Conor Timmins avoided arbitration with Buffalo and signed for $2.2M. <\/p>\n<p>Dylan Samberg has his hearing on July 30 if he doesn&#8217;t sign first, Jayden Struble and Nick Robertson have hearings on August 3, and that is all that&#8217;s left from arbitration. <\/p>\n<p>There was a trade of two prospects currently mostly in the AHL between the Sharks and Colorado. Danil Gushchin for Oskar Olausson.  <\/p>\n<p>The World Junior Summer Showcase is on, with two Leafs prospects participating. <\/p>\n<p>Ben Danford could, in theory, make Team Canada for the WJC, but his case is entirely the need for at least one defensive defender on the roster. <\/p>\n<p>Victor Johansson is more likely to crack the Swedish roster, but none of that is a sure thing for months yet. <\/p>\n<p>Some more summer content: <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SUMMER MCINTOSH WINS 400m FREESTYLE WORLD TITLE \ud83e\udd47<\/p>\n<p>What a start for the Canadian swimming phenom, beating American Katie Ledecky <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Gqh7wOCGUh?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/Gqh7wOCGUh<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8lZmN0ba7H?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/8lZmN0ba7H<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CBC Olympics (@CBCOlympics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBCOlympics\/status\/1949439761560814077?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref=pensionplanpuppets.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have a good Monday, everyone.<\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo by Mark Olsen \/ Unsplash First up the vague-ish T25 schedule right now is sometime this week&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-29451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
