There’s plenty to talk about on Wednesday’s edition of the links as Tomas Nosek is on his way out and Spencer Foo is still in the mix.
Nosek to Vegas
As reported today, Nosek is headed to the Vegas Golden Knights. This is a move that makes sense for the Knights as they were looking for a third or fourth line type player on the Red Wings roster. He won’t cost them as much as Petr Mrazek, who was one of the possible options for the expansion team.
More on Spencer Foo
Frank Seravalli of TSN is reporting that Foo is still interested in joining the Red Wings and they are one of the last teams he’s narrowed down.
Wouldn't be surprised to see VGK take B. Davidson from #Habs. Same agent as Spencer Foo & Reid Duke. Belief is Foo is down to VGK or Detroit

"Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa will not play next season because of a progressive skin disorder and side effects of medication to treat it.Hossa, 38, has experienced allergic reactions to his equipment, Sportsnet reported Tuesday.Hossa said he has been undergoing treatment for the disorder under the supervision of the Blackhawks medical staff for the past few years, but the side effects, and his reaction to them, made it impossible for him to play in what would have been his 20th NHL season in 2017-18."
