Snapshots: Cole, Benns, Marlies, Stuart

April 24, 2021 at 3:59 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 2 Comments

Wild defenseman Ian Cole has fit in relatively well since he was acquired early in the season from Colorado, providing a veteran physical presence on their third pairing.  The pending free agent told Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that he’d like to stick around beyond this season and McLellan notes that his agent and GM Bill Guerin have talked about the possibility of a new deal for the 32-year-old.  Cole has a $4.25MM AAV (Minnesota is only responsible for just over 81% of that with Colorado carrying the rest) and while he has held down a regular spot in their lineup, he will likely be facing a pay cut on the open market this summer.

Elsewhere around the league:

  • The Benn brothers have changed representation, according to TSN’s Darren Dreger (Twitter link). Jamie Benn (Stars) and Jordie Benn (Jets) will now be represented by CAA’s J.P. Barry and Bayne Pettinger.  They had previously been represented by Points West Sports and Entertainment’s Rich Evans.  Jamie won’t have to worry about a new contract anytime soon as he has four years left on his current deal that carries a $9.5MM AAV but Jordie is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and has a $2MM price tag this season.
  • Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, including Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun (Twitter link), that things are progressing with regard to the Marlies’ COVID-19 situation. Their AHL affiliate last played on April 10th before the team was shut down due to protocols.  Keefe also mentioned that there’s no timeline for them to resume playing; their next scheduled game is May 2nd.
  • Former NHL defenseman Mark Stuart is set to be named as an assistant coach at Colorado coach, ESPN’s John Buccigross reports (Twitter link). Stuart last played in 2016-17 and has briefly spent time with AHL Manitoba as a team manager and the University of Vermont as a volunteer coach since retiring.

    Has anyone noticed that all Ian Cole does is win?

    Rutherford’s biggest mistake in Pittsburgh, by far, was not telling Sully to suck it up and get along with Ian Cole.

    The Brassard trade, the Jack Johnson signing, etc. all flowed from that one bad decision to let Cole go.
