Tom Dundon knows how important Sebastian Aho is to the Carolina Hurricanes.

When asked about the talented young forward, the team's owner said getting him signed to a long-term contract is a high priority, according to the Raleigh News & Observer's Chip Alexander.

Aho said in August that "we've been talking about something, but I've got nothing to say yet," seemingly referring to his camp and the club beginning negotiations on a potential extension.

The 21-year-old, who led the Hurricanes in goals (29) and points (65) last season, is entering the final year of his entry-level pact.

Detroit Red Wings forward Filip Zadina will start his professional North American career in the AHL, according to The Athletic's Craig Custance.

The Wings selected Zadina with the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. Pundits deemed the selection a steal, as many mock drafts had him going as high as third overall.

The Czech sniper tallied 44 goals and 82 points with the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League a season ago.

Boston Bruins defenseman Torey Krug suffered a lower-body injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Philadelphia Flyers and didn't return, the team announced.

Krug suffered a season-ending fractured ankle during the second round of the playoffs against the Tampa Bay Lightning last spring.

He was spotted in a walking boot after Saturday's contest, but head coach Bruce Cassidy said he didn't believe Krug had been suffering any lingering effects from the fractured ankle.

"I have no information on anything bothering him," said Cassidy. "They gave him a timeline on when he could return to play, and it was later. He wasn't going to play the first two games, clearly. That's why he wasn't going to China. That was determined in probably the first week of August ... and then he gets injured again, so hopefully it's nothing serious. But it's tough luck if it is, obviously."

Krug is coming off a career year, compiling 14 goals and 59 points in 76 games last season, and adding 12 more points in 11 postseason contests. The Bruins would likely turn to Matt Grzelcyk or rookie Urho Vaakanainen if Krug misses the season opener on Oct. 3.

It appears as though Sidney Crosby won't be getting a street named after him in his home province of Nova Scotia anytime soon.

The city of Halifax had discussed renaming Dartmouth's Forest Hills Parkway to Sidney Crosby Parkway, but the staff is now advising against it. Crosby does not yet meet the existing criteria for commemorative naming because he's not retired, according to the Canadian Press' Alex Cooke.

A report states that while staff acknowledges "the broad range of positive impacts that Sidney Crosby's athletic achievements have on the local community," renaming the street after him would conflict with municipal policies, Cooke adds.

Exceptions cannot be made, even for a player like Crosby, who has won three Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals.

Other ideas are being floated around in order to commemorate his impact on the community, including the declaration of "Sidney Crosby Day," installing a public art project in his honor, and naming an existing Cole Harbour park after him.

The Cole Harbour native is not only one of the greatest hockey players ever, but he's arguably the most notable person born and raised in Nova Scotia.

It might have been a foregone conclusion, but it's now official: Brady Tkachuk will open the season with the Ottawa Senators.

Senators head coach Guy Boucher confirmed Saturday that his forward group is set, according to Sportsnet's Kyle Bukauskas, meaning prospects Tkachuk, Alex Formenton, and Colin White have all made the team out of camp.

Tkachuk, the fourth overall selection in June's draft, scored a goal and averaged 16 minutes of ice time in three preseason games with Ottawa.

The 19-year-old left winger decided in August to leave the college ranks after one season at Boston University to sign a contract with the Senators. He inked his entry-level deal a couple of days later.

Formenton was a second-round pick in 2017, and White was selected 21st overall by Ottawa in 2015.
