PLAYER NEWS

Sharks Logan Couture (SJ - Center) News: Couture agreed to a contract extension with the Sharks on Monday, CSN's Brodie Brazil reports. [+] Impact: While the length and the value of Couture's extension have not yet been disclosed, the 24-year-old center has reportedly re-upped with San Jose. It certainly makes sense that the Sharks would want to keep Couture around, considering he led the team with 21 goals during the regular season did so again in the playoffs with five. (RotoWire - Mon. June 17, 2013)

Blues Andy McDonald (STL - Center) News: McDonald plans to retire amid concussion concerns, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. [+] Impact: McDonald, who played six seasons with the Blues, has had five documented concussions during his 12-year NHL career. This season, McDonald played 37 regular season games, contributing seven goals and 21 points. With his St. Louis contract expiring and the team not expected to re-sign him, McDonald now enters retirement with 182 goals and 489 points to his name in 685 games played. (RotoWire - Thu. June 6, 2013) Scott Nichol (STL - Center) News: Nichol announced his retirement Wednesday after 12 seasons in the NHL, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. [+] Impact: The 38-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent and coming off a one-point campaign over 30 games, he decided he was better suited for front office work than on-ice duty.
