Michigan State hockey lands 2007-born commitment from Mason West
Michigan State hockey has just made another monstrous add to their roster via the recruiting ranks. The Spartans have added a winger to their prep ranks.
Mason West, a native of Edina, Minnesota, has made his commitment to Michigan State. A 2007 born player, he is a 6-foot-6, 220 pound winger that is currently a highly rated draft prospect for the upcoming 2025 NHL Draft. He ranks 27th by NHL Central Scouting for North American players.
After playing for Edina High School, West joined the Fargo Force of the USHL for 10 games, where he had a goal and 8 assists.
A fun tidbit about the new hockey commit, he is a 3-star quarterback prospect that currently holds four offers to play quarterback at the next level. He ill be in East Lansing for hockey, though, where he is a bona fide pro prospect.

Blackhawks Trade Veleno To Kraken For Burakovsky
The Chicago Blackhawks acquired Andre Burakovsky from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for Joe Veleno on Saturday. The trade clears cap space and a winger logjam for the Kraken while giving the Blackhawks a two-time Stanley Cup champion who's still only 30 years old. Advertisement Burakovsky has two years left on his five-year contract with a $5.5-million cap hit and a 10-team no-trade list, according to PuckPedia. The left winger had 10 goals and 27 assists for 37 points for the Kraken this past season. Before that, he had 16 points in 49 games in 2023-24 and 39 points in 49 games in 2022-23. Burakovsky's career-high 22 goals and 61 points came with the Colorado Avalanche in 2021-22, when he added eight points in 12 playoff games en route to his team's Stanley Cup win. In 2017-18, Burakovsky won his first Stanley Cup championship with the Washington Capitals, the team that selected him 23rd overall in the 2013 NHL draft. With Burakovsky, the Blackhawks get another potential top-six winger to improve their scoring and competitiveness in their rebuilding years. Burakovsky saw his ice time decrease with the Kraken, going from 16:33 per game in 2022-23 to 14:25 this past season, but that could improve in Chicago. Andre Burakovsky (David Banks-Imagn Images) After the Kraken acquired left winger Mason Marchment earlier this week, they had five wingers earning at least $4.5 million. Trading Burakovsky for Veleno, a center, tweaks the depth at each position. Advertisement 'Andre was a valuable player for our organization during the three years he was here, and we wish him and his family the best of luck in Chicago," new Kraken GM Jason Botterill told "In return, we've acquired a young player with experience while also increasing our salary cap flexibility moving forward." Veleno, 25, has 81 points in 306 career games, including a career-high 28 points in 80 games with the Detroit Red Wings in 2023-24. In 2024-25, he had eight goals and 17 points in 74 games between the Wings and Blackhawks, which acquired him at the NHL trade deadline. He has one year left on his contract with a $2.275-million cap hit. He would be an RFA with arbitration rights if he doesn't sign a contract extension beforehand. As for this off-season, the Kraken have three pending RFAs: right winger Kaapo Kakko, left winger Tye Kartye and defenseman Ryker Evans. Michael Eyssimont is also a pending UFA. And in the summer of 2026, captain Jordan Eberle, Jaden Schwartz, Marchment, Eeli Tolvanen and Jamie Oleksiak are pending UFAs. Trading Burakovsky also helps with salary cap flexibility at that point. More to come.

Blackhawks acquire Andre Burakovsky for Joe Veleno in trade with Kraken
The Chicago Blackhawks acquired two-time 20-goal scorer Andre Burakovsky from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for Joe Veleno on Saturday. Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson has been looking for a way to add some scoring punch to one of the league's weakest offenses, but he's reluctant to commit too much money and too many years to a high-end free agent such as Mitch Marner or Nikolaj Ehlers, neither of whose ages line up with their very young core. At 30 years old, Burakovsky doesn't, either. Advertisement However, with just two years left on his contract — at a $5.5-million cap hit — Burakovsky can be a nice stopgap while the rest of Chicago's young forwards work their way into the NHL lineup. He found himself in a fourth-line role with the Kraken by the end of the season, but he's 6-foot-3, is a strong skater and has shown some top-six talent in the past. Seattle not having to pay *anything* to get a team to take Andre Burakovsky's deal is incredible work. — dom 📈 (@domluszczyszyn) June 21, 2025 Burakovsky had just 10 goals and 27 assists in 79 games for the Kraken this past season after his 2023-24 season was cut short by a groin injury. He never lived up to the five-year, $27.5 million contract he signed with Seattle after helping the Colorado Avalanche win the Stanley Cup in 2022. In his three seasons in Colorado, he had 20, 19 and 22 goals after modest but consistent production for five seasons with the Washington Capitals. But he was in danger of getting squeezed out of the Kraken lineup and was an obvious trade candidate. Veleno, a fourth-line center acquired by Chicago from Detroit in the Petr Mrázek trade at the deadline, was a possible buyout candidate, and still could be, if this proves to be little more than a cap dump for the Kraken. Veleno has one year left on his deal at a $2.275-million cap hit. The Blackhawks' strong closing kick with a team loaded with rookies and players younger than 23 years old has lessened the urgency Davidson feels to turbocharge the team's long rebuilding plan. Rather than go big-game hunting in unrestricted free agency, trades like this one — modest additions who can play up and down the lineup but don't require long-term commitments that'll block younger players' paths to the NHL — are about all that Blackhawks fans should expect this summer.

Morgan Geekie hopes he has a good shot to return to the Bruins
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up General manager Don Sweeney has a lot to figure out this summer, figuring all the more daunting if negotiations for a Geekie extension drag on, possibly reach impasse ( Advertisement None of that seems to be causing Geekie much anxiety — perhaps because he's looking at a substantial, potentially whopping, increase over the two-year/$4 million deal he signed to come here two years ago as an unrestricted free agent. Advertisement Contract talks to this point, said Geekie, have been 'pretty preliminary' between his agent, Judd Moldaver , and Sweeney. 'I honestly don't ask too many questions when it comes to that,' Geekie said. 'Like I've said, I love playing in Boston and would love to be there as long as I can. I'm super hopeful it will be sorted out, but [the Bruins are busy with] a high pick in the draft, and there's free agents to be had. I think for me it's more a matter of when, I guess, it's going to happen when it happens, and I'm not putting too much pressure on it.' Related : It can be partly cloudy, trending toward a tornado of miscalculations, to try to read the weather around contract talks. Nonetheless, Geekie sounded positive about the process and optimistic about returning. No doubt his return would be embraced by a fan base still trying to come to grips with a season that sorta started out real slow and then fizzled out all together (pop culture coincidence: rock legend Neil Young and Geekie grew up around Winnipeg). Geekie ended up second in Bruins scoring to Czech wonder David Pastrnak , While it's true that Geekie is among the 99 percent of NHL forwards not in Pastrnak's elite scoring class, his late-season finishing kick showed he has the skills to hunt with the big dogs. He has a heavy, menacing shot — one perhaps he should use more —and a willingness to barge his way into 'inside ice,' prime scoring spots. Advertisement 'A lot of things,' said Geekie, asked what factors he believed most influenced his uptick in production, particularly goal scoring. 'Obviously, playing with Dave helps a lot — he's a world-class player — and he taught me a lot of things on offense that I never really thought of before, helped me add aspects to my game where I try to be at the right spots at the right time. I think I have my shot as an asset, and it helped being able to put myself in those spots to use it effectively.' Geekie scored on 33 of his 150 shots, a 22.0 percent success rate that led the club's regulars. He was followed by Charlie Coyle (16.3) and perennial volume shooter Pastrnak (13.5). League-wide, 155 players this past season landed 150 or more shots on net, and only three cashed in with similar proficiency, Tampa Bay's Brayden Point (42 goals/22.2 percent); Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl (52 goals/21.7); and Winnipeg's Mark Scheifele (39 goals/21.6). Outstanding company. Also reason for Geekie to remain hammer-ready. 'I've never really been known to take a ton of shots,' noted Geekie, whose previous high (130) was set in his first season as a Bruin. 'It just seemed that I had a lot of high-quality chances and I think a lot of those came from creating in a lot of different ways — creating off the rush, creating below the goal line. All of it kind of added up. I learned a lot and I owe a lot to Pav [ Pavel Zacha ], Dave, and Lindy [ Elias Lindholm ].' Geekie grew up just west of Winnipeg, as did his wife, Emma (the two often were linemates in Strathclair amateur hockey), and the couple have made Calgary their offseason home since the summer of 2023 Advertisement 'When I was playing with Seattle, I came here for a week or two to train with one of my buddies and loved it,' mused Geekie. 'We live in a hamlet — whatever a hamlet is — and we're kind of by the golf course and right next to the firehall.' With his hands hotter than they've ever been, sounds as if Geekie is in just the right place. Across the final 20 games of this season, beginning just before what was the seismic March 7 trade deadline, Geekie went 14-11—25. Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff Games in hand Record number could reach 1,000 The upcoming season is shaping up to be the busiest in league history for handing out silver sticks. Upon season's end, 26 active NHLers, including former Bruins Tyler Seguin , Craig Smith , Marcus Johansson , Charlie Coyle , and Reilly Smith , all had logged at least 919 regular-season games and could reach or crest the 1,000-game plateau during the 2025-26 season. Inevitably, be it due to retirement or injury, it's unlikely all 26 will reach four figures. However, it easily should set a record, most players to reach the 1,000 mark in the same season. Per the league stats department, the record is 15 players to get there in the same season — a mark set five times across seasons 2001-02 through 2023-24. For a league that puts such a beating on the working help, that's an impressive tally. To date, 404 NHLers have played 1,000 games or more. Advertisement Oilers forward Adam Henrique (993) should be the first to get to 1,000 next season. The five ex-Bruins in the same flight path and their current club/total games: Seguin (Dallas/989); Craig Smith (Chicago/987); Johansson (Minnesota/983); Coyle (Colorado/950) and Reilly Smith (Vegas/919). Of the 26 NHLers on the doorstep, 19 are forwards and seven are defensemen. Blues blue liner Ryan Suter (1,526) finished 2024-25 atop the heap of most games played among active players. Topping the current Bruins roster for games played: David Pastrnak (756) and Charlie McAvoy (504). Charlie Coyle could surpass the 1,000-game mark this season. David Zalubowski/Associated Press ETC. Sturm grew up with drive So, what is there to know about Marco Sturm's hometown of Dingolfing, Germany? 'Pretty simple,' said a chuckling Sturm, who grew up in the town at the southern edge of Bavaria. 'It's the home of BMW, a town of maybe 25,000, and I think maybe 30,000 work at the BMW factory. If you open up a BMW door, you'll see it says, 'Made in Dingolfing.' That's all you gotta know.' The last job Sturm held before signing his pro hockey contract at age 16 was with BMW. He signed up with the automaker at his father's insistence, entering the luxury car's workforce as an electrical engineering trainee. 'Now, I gotta say, I gotta say,' noted a chuckling, self-effacing Sturm, 'I was there only six months and the job I was doing really had nothing to do with electrical engineering. They try to build you up that first year for your second year, so it was just entry level — I had to do the dirty work.' Related : Advertisement Only weeks into his BMW stay, yet to turn 17, he signed with the pro team in nearby Landshut for the 1995-96 season. After only a season there, he was drafted by the Sharks in 1996 and returned to Landshut for one more season as lead-up to making his NHL debut with the Sharks in October 1997. 'I think it helped me,' said Sturm, laughing as he reflected on his father pointing him to the BMW factory. 'Did I like it? No. But my dad did the right thing — he wanted me to make some money. I said, 'Dad, I know I'm going to play professional hockey!' And he said, 'Yeah, but you can get hurt tomorrow, and you need to start making money, learn how to make money.' So I did it. But let me say, I was really happy when I signed [with Landshut] and didn't have to go back.' While in Landshut, Sturm met Astrid , who later became his wife, and they return to her hometown every summer with son Mason and daughter Kaydie . Sturm's dad still lives in Dingolfing, where the cars keep rolling off the line while Marco, new keys in hand, readies to take the wheel as the new Bruins coach. Related : Rangers could eye Grzelcyk The Rangers added $6.5 million to their summer shopping funds upon moving Chris Kreider to the Ducks. Don't be surprised if GM Chris Drury uses some of the extra cash to add another Boston University alum, Matt Grzelcyk , to the Blueshirts' backline, particularly now with Mike Sullivan and David Quinn behind the bench. Grzelcyk played for both coaches last season in Pittsburgh, rolling up a career-high 39 assists and 40 points. Not asked back by the Bruins after last season, 'Grizzy' signed on with the Penguins for one year/$2.75 million and will be an unrestricted free agent as of July 1. With Kreider off the books, Drury has some $15 million of available cash, according to Meanwhile, Drury also is rumored to be looking to move No. 1 center Mika Zibanejad (five more years at $8.5 million AAV). The Swedish-born pivot last season dipped to 20-42—62, looking at times like an old 31-year-old (and now 32). The Ducks still have gobs of money to spend (north of $32 million in cap space) and they already have ex-Rangers captain Jacob Trouba and Pat Verbeek , with Joel Quenneville behind the bench, opts for a full ex-Blueshirt makeover, like new facing on existing kitchen cabinets. If Kreider and Zibanejad were recharged by that bunch of surrounding young forwards, the Ducks could be mighty again and soon. The risk: the vets, faced with the inevitable drain of time and greater travel grind out west, fail to surge and they prevent the kids from thriving. Tricky balance. The Bruins and Zibanejad? It can't be discounted. However, the Bruins and Blueshirts aren't likely trade partners unless Drury were to hold back, say, 25-33 percent of that $42.5 million cap hit remaining on Zibanejad's contract. Zibanejad and fellow Swede Elias Lindholm could make an interesting tandem in the 1-2 center spots. On the power play alone, Zibanejad averaged 13 goals and 30 points the last three years. He was out of the lineup for only one of 246 regular-season games. Loose pucks In 1996, when the Sharks drafted Sturm at No. 21, the Bruins misfired at No. 8, selecting WHL Medicine Hat blue liner Johnathan Aitken . Heavy afoot, the 6-4 Aitken suited up for only three games with the Bruins, and eventually 41 more with the Blackhawks before finishing up with a final career twirl in Klagenfurt, Austria, at age 29 … The Islanders made the best pick in the '96, draft, and one of the best in league history, selecting Zdeno Chara , some unheralded, gangly defenseman from Trencin, Slovakia, at No. 56. Chara, by the way, has been retired for three years and thus becomes eligible this coming week for Hockey Hall of Fame consideration. Ditto for Joe Thornton , whom the Bruins took at No. 1 in the '97 draft. The HHOF will announce its new inductees Tuesday, 3 p.m, and it would be a shock if Big Z and Jumbo Joe aren't part of the class that will be inducted Nov. 10 in Toronto … Those who had the unique pleasure of watching his career may be challenged today to imitate Derek Sanderson's trademark sweep check in the privacy of their family room, but let it be noted that the inimitable 'Turk' on Monday celebrated his 79th birthday. Finish the sentence: 'Orr, to Sanderson, back to … ' … Three of the game's narrative voices that I missed all the more while watching the Cup playoffs on TV the last two months: 1. Gary Thorne ; 2. Mike 'Doc' Emrick ; and 3. Mike Milbury . I could be entertained if the first two read aloud the potential side effects listed on the side of a pill bottle. 'Ohhhh, what do we have HERE?!' Milbury, in his NBC commentating days, sometimes said things that made the network's iconic peacock blush. And it was splendid, every true word of it … The Stanley Cup Final on TNT often had me turning off the TV and opting instead to listen to the action via the NHL app, which offered (for free!) the individual radio feeds of the Panthers and Oilers. Still love listening to games, especially hockey and baseball, via radio, forever reminded of my old man listening to the Sox on his Admiral transistor radio. 'Yanks win again,' he'd say with disgust, sitting at the kitchen table as he clicked off the radio. 'Never changes, bag job.' Mel lived from 1922-89, just more than 67 years of that 86-year dry spell … I told ya, Oilers in six. Missed it by that much. Yeah, I knew Zach Hyman wouldn't be able to go, but still thought the Oilers had the requisite underlying cast to make up for his distinct blend of sandpaper and finish. Yet another lesson in how few players are able to summon his kind of moxie, especially in the playoffs … Following Game 5 of the Cup Final, in which he contributed a pair of dazzling snipes to the Panthers' win, Brad Marchand was asked what the 2011 version of himself — a Cup winner that spring with the Bruins — would think of the 2025 iteration of No. 63. 'Man,' mused Marchand, 'that guy's good looking.' Morgan Geekie , asked about his former captain's quip: 'That fits the bill perfectly, exactly the response I would have [expected], too. He brings that kind of humor every day and he shows up to work — they got a good one.' Kevin Paul Dupont can be reached at
