Don Cherry insists he isn't going anywhere.

The Hockey Night in Canada pundit and longtime "Coach's Corner" host attempted to put an end to speculation about his future with a pair of tweets Sunday night, one day after the Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons wrote that Cherry's return to the airwaves next season hadn't yet been confirmed.

"One thing that hasn't been confirmed for the next season of Hockey Night in Canada: the return of Don Cherry and 'Coach's Corner,'" Simmons wrote Saturday. "Rogers is cutting all over the place, which included the removal of Bob McCown on radio and television and Doug MacLean doing the same. Cherry is handsomely compensated for his work. Not sure if this is a place they want to go with the 85-year-old."

Cherry drew the ire of the Carolina Hurricanes and their fans this past season when he called the team "a bunch of jerks" for doing their "Storm Surge" celebrations. The club adopted the phrase as a rallying cry and T-shirt slogan.

He's appeared alongside Ron MacLean on "Coach's Corner" since 1986.

The Montreal Canadiens have agreed to terms with free-agent center Nick Cousins on a one-year, $1-million contract, the team announced Friday.

Cousins tallied a career-high 27 points in 81 games with the Arizona Coyotes last season. He added 115 hits and 39 takeaways while posting a 49.8 Corsi For percentage at even strength.

The 25-year-old will provide the Habs with depth down the middle of the ice. Max Domi, Phillip Danault, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Ryan Poehling are currently projected to be the club's top four centers.

The 21-year-old tallied a career-high 83 points in 2018-19.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Sonny Milano and Colorado Avalanche forward A.J. Greer were arrested early Sunday for a brawl over a nightclub bill in New York City, police sources told the New York Post's Tina Moore and Ruth Weissmann.

Milano and Greer were reportedly inside a Manhattan apartment at roughly 6:30 a.m. when they got into a fight with a 28-year-old man. The three were in a dispute over a bill that had been paid an hour prior at Chelsea nightclub 1 Oak, the sources said.

The two players allegedly assaulted the man, who suffered jaw and rib pain and injuries to the neck and bicep. He called the police but refused medical attention. The pair were reportedly arrested and brought back to the 6th Precinct station house, where they were being charged with assault.

Milano was the Jackets' first-round pick in 2014, but he hasn't quite panned out yet. In 70 career games, the 23-year-old has 15 goals and nine assists. Greer, 22, was a second-round pick by the Avs in 2015. He's collected six points in 37 contests over three seasons.

One of the top remaining unrestricted free agents is off the market.

The Buffalo Sabres have signed forward Marcus Johansson to a two-year deal with an average annual value of $4.5 million, the team announced Saturday.

Johansson tallied 30 points in 58 games split between the New Jersey Devils and Boston Bruins last season. The 28-year-old added 11 points in 22 postseason contests during Boston's run to the Stanley Cup Final.

The Swedish winger has been plagued by injuries during the last two seasons, but the last time he was healthy for a full campaign - 2016-17 with the Washington Capitals - he set career highs with 24 goals and 58 points.

The Sabres will hope Johansson can add some secondary scoring to an offense that relied heavily on its top line of Jack Eichel, Jeff Skinner, and Sam Reinhart this past season. All three of these players had at least 63 points, but no other forward recorded more than 34 points.

With a projected $6.7 million in cap space remaining, according to CapFriendly, and no major RFAs left to re-sign, the Sabres still have the flexibility to make more moves.
