Mathew Barzal kicked off the NHL awards by claiming the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top freshman, then wrapped up the night by grabbing a spot on the All-Rookie Team.

Five of the six received votes for the Calder; Nashville Predators backup netminder Juuse Saros was the lone all-rookie freshmen held off the ballot. All three forwards - Barzal of the New York Islanders, Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser, and Arizona Coyotes winger Clayton Keller - received at least one first-place vote.

Expect the Pittsburgh Penguins to be interested in Jack Johnson's services if he reaches free agency, sources told Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The 31-year-old defenseman has been with the Columbus Blue Jackets since February 2012, but he's now less than two weeks away from unrestricted free agency. His current seven-year pact, signed with the Los Angeles Kings in 2010 prior to being traded to the Blue Jackets, carries a cap hit just shy of $4.4 million.

As for the Penguins, there are two obvious ties to Johnson. The first is Sidney Crosby after the two spent one season together as high school teammates in 2002-03. There's also Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford, who previously headed up the Carolina Hurricanes when they selected Johnson with the third overall pick in 2005.

It's also likely that Johnson is ready to move on from the Blue Jackets. He requested a trade in January, citing his reduced role with Columbus and a desire to better position himself ahead of free agency.

In 77 appearances with the Blue Jackets during the 2017-18 season, Johnson collected three goals and eight assists, while averaging 19:33 in ice time. He was scratched for all six of Columbus' playoff games.

Vegas Golden Knights forward William Karlsson claimed the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy on Wednesday, which is presented to the player voted to have "exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability."

It was a breakout season for Karlsson, who tallied 43 goals for the expansion Golden Knights, outpaced only by Alex Ovechkin and Patrik Laine. The Swedish center posted a league-best plus-49 rating - 13 points higher than the runner-up - while also finishing with just 12 penalty minutes.

Karlsson joined Vegas from the Columbus Blue Jackets, where he scored just six goals in 81 games during the 2016-17 season.

Buffalo Sabres forward Ryan O'Reilly and Florida Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov were also 2017-18 finalists for the award.

Vancouver Canucks forwards Daniel and Henrik Sedin claimed the King Clancy Memorial Trophy on Wednesday, awarded to the player who "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community."

The Sedins retired in April after 17 seasons in the NHL, all with the Canucks organization. Their community involvement included a $1.5-million donation to the BC Children's Hospital Foundation to expand services and help fund a new hospital.

Since 2010, the Sedins have also helped raise $42 million for the Canucks for Kids Fund, in addition to advocacy work for the Canucks Family Education Centre and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban and Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker were also finalists for the award.

The Detroit Red Wings don't like the price tag on Martin Frk.

Detroit will not extend a qualifying offer to the 24-year-old restricted free agent, reports Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, meaning Frk will be able to sign with any team of his choosing.

An offer would have seen the Czech forward earn a 10 percent raise on his current salary, bringing his cap hit to $715,000 next season, per CapFriendly.

While the possibility remains that the Red Wings could sign Frk as an unrestricted free agent at a salary lower than his qualifying offer, the level of interest remains to be seen. The deadline for qualifying offers is Monday.

The Red Wings selected Frk in the second round of the 2012 draft. He played four seasons in the minors before landing a full-time role with Detroit this season, in which he tallied 11 goals and 14 assists in 68 games.

This marks the second time Frk has left Detroit. In October 2016, the Red Wings attempted to demote him to the AHL, but he was claimed off waivers by the Carolina Hurricanes. However, Frk returned to the Red Wings the following month when the team reclaimed him.

The Washington Capitals were not willing to meet the cost that comes with success.

A Stanley Cup win triggered a clause in Barry Trotz's contract that would have seen him remain head coach of the Capitals for the next two seasons with a $300,000 raise - bringing his annual salary to $1.8 million - but after the two sides were unable to come to a revised agreement, Trotz resigned.

At a media availability Monday, Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan noted that Trotz wanted to bring his compensation in line with the NHL's top coaches, reported Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post.

"There are probably four guys that are making that money, so it's the upper echelon. It's the big-revenue teams," MacLellan said.

According to CapFriendly, Toronto Maple Leafs bench boss Mike Babcock is currently the NHL's highest-paid coach, bringing in $6.25 million per year, closely followed by Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks at $6 million, then Montreal Canadiens coach Claude Julien, who earns $5 million.

While the dollar figure may have been troubling for the Capitals, it appears the length of the extension was a sticking point, MacLellan indicated, as per Tarik El-Bashir of NBC Sports Washington.

Trotz spent the last four seasons in Washington, and a five-year extension - if he remained for the life of the contract - would have brought his tenure to nine seasons, a rarity in the NHL.

Trotz is now a free agent and has been given clearance by the Capitals to speak with other clubs. The New York Islanders are currently the only other team without a head coach.

Meanwhile, the search for the next coach in Washington will begin with current assistant coach Todd Reirden, who spent the last four seasons working alongside Trotz. Reirden is expected to be a strong candidate for the role, given MacLellan indicated to El-Bashir that the club has been grooming him for head coaching duties.

As the NHL draft draws near and trade talks intensify, the New York Rangers are receiving significant interest in forward Kevin Hayes, sources indicated to Larry Brooks of the New York Post.

The 26-year-old Hayes is a restricted free agent fresh off a campaign in which he scored a career-high 25 goals. He has spent the last four seasons with the Rangers after joining as a free agent in 2014.

Coming off a two-year contract that carried a $2.6-million cap hit, Hayes' departure would mark the latest big-name player to leave the Rangers, following in the footsteps of Ryan McDonagh, J.T. Miller, and Rick Nash, who were shipped out at last year's trade deadline. The Blueshirts also parted ways with longtime forward Derek Stepan at the 2017 draft.

While Brooks does not indicate what the Rangers would seek in return for Hayes, prospects or draft picks seem logical with the team in the early stages of a rebuild. Prior to last year's trade deadline, the club released a letter to fans indicating it could deal "familiar faces" in order to recoup younger talent.

Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Jordy Bellerive has been hospitalized with an unspecified injury after a fire broke out at a bachelor party Saturday night in Calgary, according to Lisa MacGregor of Global News.

A forward with the WHL's Lethbridge Hurricanes, Bellerive attended the party with teammate Ryan Vandervlis and former Hurricanes skater Matt Alfaro, who were also hospitalized. One is considered to be in critical condition, though a Penguins team source said it is not Bellerive, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The 19-year-old Bellerive led the Hurricanes in scoring this season, notching 92 points in 71 games. He signed with Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent last September.

The Penguins released a statement Sunday, indicating assistant general manager Bill Guerin has been in contact with Bellerive, who is expected to make a full recovery.

A new opportunity stands before Alex Galchenyuk.

Traded to the Arizona Coyotes late Friday, the former Montreal Canadiens forward is not only headed to a new home, but he'll also be getting a chance to play his preferred position: lining up in the middle of the ice.

After shifting from center to wing during his time with the Canadiens, the former third overall pick will have a clean slate at center with his new club.

"I don't think we'd make this trade if we didn't think he had the ability to play center," Coyotes general manager John Chayka said following the trade.

Music to Galchenyuk's ears, to be sure, as prior to his exit from Montreal, he had discussions about a move back to the middle, but it never materialized, Galchenyuk indicated to Craig Morgan of Arizona Sports.

He'll get that opportunity in the desert, a chance he last had in Montreal at the start of the 2016-17 campaign. For Galchenyuk's part, there is no shortage of enthusiasm.

"That's what I want. I'm excited about it," Galchenyuk added, according to Arpon Basu of The Athletic.

Galchenyuk appeared in all 82 games last season, netting 19 goals and 32 assists.
