It's the 11th Hour as we head toward the start of the NHL Free Agency period on July 1.  VGK is closing in on signing Mitch Marner.  There could be a sign and trade as the Maple Leafs look to get something in return for Marner.  A report from Eliotte Friedman said that there could be tampering charges against VGK, so we are keeping an eye on that note.  Nic Hague was traded to Nashville late Sunday night in return for defenseman Jeremy Lauzon and center Colton Sissons. Hague was a RFA.  Lauzon and Sissons have one year remaining on their current contracts.  And, it appears Alex Pietrangelo will need multiple surgeries over the summer and is expected to miss the entire upcoming season. We should receive the official news from VGK soon.
