After winning two of the NHL's most prestigious personal awards on Monday, Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl still has his eyes on hoisting the Stanley Cup.

"No, this doesn't make up for it," Draisaitl said of Edmonton's early exit from the postseason, according to Sportsnet's Mark Spector. "It's a nice personal award for myself, but there's nothing that comes ahead of the Stanley Cup. If I could hand those two awards back in for a Stanley Cup I would do it in a heartbeat, and so would everyone else.

"It's a nice day, I am proud and happy for sure. But my goal in my career is to win the Stanley Cup."

Draisaitl took home both the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player and the Ted Lindsay Award as the league's most outstanding player as voted on by his peers.

The 24-year-old was the most dominant offensive player throughout the 2019-20 season, recording 43 goals and 67 assists in 71 games. He was the only player in the league who eclipsed the 100-point mark.

Edmonton entered the postseason as the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference and fell to the 12th-seeded Chicago Blackhawks in the qualifying round. The Oilers have now failed to make the Round of 16 during the past three seasons.

Bill Armstrong wants to make it clear he didn't take the job as Arizona Coyotes general manager to soak up some rays.

"Weather has nothing to do with it," Armstrong added. "As I told them in the interview process, I will see my house, the car, and my office, and not much of Arizona."

However, the 50-year-old - who the Coyotes hired last week - did say his new employer's state has its charm.

Armstrong also said he's "looking forward to working with" head coach Rick Tocchet, according to NHL Network's Craig Morgan.

The Coyotes named Armstrong to the position on Thursday. He replaces John Chayka, who terminated his contract in July, after which Arizona accused him of quitting on the franchise.

Armstrong spent the last two seasons as assistant general manager of the St. Louis Blues, helping them win the Stanley Cup in 2019.

Arizona eliminated the Nashville Predators in four games during their best-of-five play-in round series to advance to the round of 16 in August. However, the Colorado Avalanche then ousted the Coyotes in five contests.

Arizona hasn't advanced past the first round since 2012, and the Coyotes hadn't made the playoffs prior to this season since that same year, when they reached the Western Conference Final.

The San Jose Sharks have named Bob Boughner as the ninth head coach in franchise history.

Boughner was promoted from assistant coach to interim bench boss during the 2019-20 season after Peter DeBoer was relieved of his duties.

The 49-year-old guided the Sharks to a 14-20-3 record. The team dealt with some key injuries during his time behind the bench, with Erik Karlsson, Logan Couture, and Tomas Hertl all missing significant time.

Boughner previously served as the head coach of the Florida Panthers, accumulating an 80-62-22 record across two seasons.

The Pittsburgh Penguins may try to add a second Tanev brother to the fold this offseason.

Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford is expected to pursue Vancouver Canucks defenseman Christopher Tanev by attempting to shed enough cap space to sign him, league and team sources told The Athletic's Rob Rossi and Josh Yohe. Pittsburgh has reportedly made adding a right-shooting blue-liner a priority.

Rutherford isn't opposed to offering the rearguard a five-year contract that would last as long as the pact he agreed to with Tanev's younger brother, Brandon, a team source told Rossi and Yohe.

The elder Tanev, who will turn 31 in December, is a pending unrestricted free agent. The 2019-20 campaign was the final season of the five-year, $22.25-million deal he inked with the Canucks in 2015. That agreement carried a $4.45-million cap hit, and the defenseman is reportedly seeking a raise. However, the Penguins would prefer not to sign off on a deal with a cap hit over $5 million.

Tanev said in June that he'd love to play his whole career with Vancouver. He's spent all 10 of his NHL campaigns with the Canucks, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2010.

The Penguins reeled in Brandon Tanev with a six-year, $21-million contract in July 2019. The 28-year-old forward posted 11 goals and 25 points in his first campaign with the club.

New York Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss will likely be available when the NHL's free-agency period opens in October.

"At this point, I do expect he's headed to the market," Greiss' agent, Ray Petkau, told The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun on Monday.

But Petkau added that the pending unrestricted free agent "loves being a New York Islander" and would consider re-signing with the team if given the chance.

Greiss shared the crease with Semyon Varlamov this season but was ultimately relegated to a backup role. Greiss posted a .913 save percentage and 2.77 goals saved above average across 31 regular-season games before authoring a .929 save percentage in four playoff appearances.

The 34-year-old has been dependable in recent years, producing a .915 save percentage and 17.6 GSAA over five campaigns with New York.

Greiss carried a $3.33-million cap hit in 2019-20, finishing off the three-year, $10-million contract he signed with the Islanders in January 2017.

The goalie market could include fellow pending UFAs Robin Lehner, Jacob Markstrom, Anton Khudobin, Corey Crawford, and Braden Holtby. It's also expected to feature Detroit Red Wings netminder Jimmy Howard, who said Sunday he's "probably not" re-signing with the club.
