Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Justin Schultz had an eventful day with the Stanley Cup.

Schultz's first stop Saturday was a hospital where he visited children in his hometown of Kelowna, British Columbia:

From there, he made his way to Starbucks, where he was spotted trying to get a discount, followed by a trip to a local vineyard:

The Vegas Golden Knights have signed first-round picks Cody Glass, Nick Suzuki, and Erik Brannstrom to three-year, entry-level contracts, the team announced Saturday.

Glass was Vegas' first-ever draft at sixth overall. The 6-foot-2 center spent last season with the Portland Winterhawks of the Ontario Hockey League, recording 32 goals and 94 points in 69 games.

Suzuki was then taken at No. 13. Another center out of the OHL, the 5-foot-11 Suzuki had 45 goals and 96 points with the Owen Sound Attack.

With their final first-round pick, the Knights took Swedish defenseman Erik Brannstrom. The 5-foot-9 blue-liner tallied six points in 35 games while playing with HV71 Jonkoping of the Swedish Hockey League - the top professional league in the nation.

The New Jersey Devils signed first overall pick Nico Hischier to the maximum three-year, entry-level contract with an average annual value of $925,000, the team announced Saturday.

Hischier became the first Swiss-born player to be taken first overall when the Devils selected him over Nolan Patrick in June's entry draft. The 6-foot-1, 176-pound center scored 38 goals and had 86 points in 57 games with the Halifax Moosheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League last season.

The Vegas Golden Knights signed restricted free agents Griffin Reinhart and Brendan Leipsic to two-year contracts, the team announced Saturday.

Reinhart's deal comes with an average annual value of $800,000, while Leipsic will have an AAV of $650,000.

Reinhart, 23, was scooped up by Vegas from the Edmonton Oilers in the expansion draft. The hulking 6-foot-4 defenseman was taken fourth overall by the New York Islanders in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, but hasn't lived up to the hype thus far in his career. Appearing in just 37 NHL games, Reinhart has just two points, 28 giveaways, and two takeaways.

Leipsic might be the complete opposite of Reinhart.

The diminutive 5-foot-9 winger was a third-round selection by the Nashville Predators in the very same 2012 draft. He was taken by Vegas in the expansion draft from the Toronto Maple Leafs after racking up 51 points in 49 AHL games a season ago. He has just six games of NHL experience, coming in 2015-16 with Toronto, in which he picked up a goal and two helpers.

Leipsic has a chance of making Vegas' initial roster out of training camp, but Reinhart could be in tough considering the abundance of defensemen general manager George McPhee took in the expansion draft.

With Reinhart and Leipsic signed, smooth-skating RFA defenseman Nate Schmidt remains the only unsigned player on the Golden Knights' roster.

P.K. Subban was in pretty, pretty, pretty good company in Los Angeles on Friday night.

The Nashville Predators defenseman, who was in town for the ESPYs and Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards, dined with "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator Larry David, Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers, Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, and former NHL player and current New York Islanders scout Chris O'Sullivan.

Subban and Buss previously met at a Lakers game:

Phil Kessel is seemingly okay with being the subject of trade speculation.

"(Trades) happen all of the time. I've been traded before and if I get traded again, it is what it is," the Pittsburgh Penguins winger told TSN on Friday. "It's a business. You've got to look at it like that. If I'm somewhere else, I'll play hard for them."

Kessel's name surfaced in the rumor mill after Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Ron Cook floated the possibility the Penguins could look to deal the winger, particularly in light of former assistant coach Rick Tocchet being named bench boss of the Arizona Coyotes.

Kessel and Tocchet had a close relationship. When Tocchet was believed to be in the running to become the next coach of the Buffalo Sabres, Kessel told Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News, "He is my favorite assistant coach of all time I've ever played for. He understands what it's like to play the game, to be a player, He just gets it.

"He makes it fun. He'd make that transition easily. If he gets that opportunity there, it would be unbelievable for him. I don't want to see him go, right? Because he's a great guy and a great coach."

While Tocchet is off to the desert, the possibility of Kessel joining him seems remote, with a source telling Craig Morgan of Arizona Sports there is "nothing" to the speculation linking Kessel to the Coyotes.

Earlier Friday, Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford mostly ruled out the possibility of a Kessel trade, stating, "I don't want to sit here and say that a certain player's not going to get traded at some point in his career. I mean, Phil already did. But that's not something that I foresee happening right now."

Should Kessel be dealt, it will be the third trade of his relatively short career. In 2009, the Boston Bruins flipped Kessel to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Less than six years later, Kessel was on the move again, this time to the Penguins.

Kessel appeared in all 82 games with the Penguins this season, putting up 23 goals and 47 assists. The high-flying winger was once again invaluable in the playoffs, playing a key role as the Penguins won their second straight Stanley Cup. Over the past two postseasons, only Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby (both 46) have recorded more playoff points than Kessel's 45.

Kessel, 29, has five years remaining on his contract, carrying a $6.8-million salary cap hit. And if Kessel is on the move, he'll have some say on where he's going, as his pact includes an eight-team trade list, per CapFriendly.

Fans of the Bruins and Celtics know that when their team signs a contract with a player, that agreement must be followed to the letter of the law.

But when it comes to state-approved arena projects, there isn't a players' association tasked with keeping an eye on the proceedings. If local bureaucrats drop the ball on oversight, and the arena's owner ignores their own commitment, who's going to hold them accountable?

As Bruins and TD Garden owner Jeremy Jacobs learned, the answer is teenagers.

A group of high school students in Boston stumbled upon inconsistencies between the promises made by Jacobs' Delaware North group back in 1993 and what has actually been delivered to date, the Boston Globe's Milton J. Valencia reports.

As part of the bid to have the $160-million arena project that would become TD Garden approved by the state, Jacobs' ownership group agreed to host three events per year at the new arena to help raise funds for Boston's recreational services. The students discovered that no such events have taken place since TD Garden, then known as FleetCenter, opened in September 1995.

The amateur investigation grew out of the students' keen interest in raising funds for a proposed $21.5-million community recreation center project, one that would service neighborhoods with high levels of at-risk youth.

It isn't clear whether any restitution will come from the discovery of the Garden's unfulfilled fundraising obligations, but state officials are reportedly reviewing "strategies going forward" after being alerted of the students' findings.

Joe Pavelski: world-class athlete.

The San Jose Sharks captain put his athletic prowess on display Friday, showing off his skills with not only a club but a basketball as well at the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament held in Nevada.

Pavelski is one of nearly 90 celebrities participating in the tournament, including fellow NHLers T.J. Oshie, Carey Price, and Pavelski's former Sharks teammate Jeremy Roenick.

Pavelski's talent is nothing new to Bay Area hockey fans, who've witnessed the Wisconsin native net no fewer than 68 points in each of the past four NHL seasons.

Drafted in 2003, Pavelski has spent his entire career in San Jose. His 631 career points trail only Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton in franchise scoring.
