And before assuming that Celebrini will earn much more than Gauthier, it's important to keep a few key facts in mind.
For one thing, the Sharks' center is willing to accept less money to help his team compete. And Gauthier, according to Keith Yandle, doesn't want a penny less than Leo Carlsson.
So what might their contracts look like?

Could Steve Yzerman's replacement convince Larkin to stay? Maybe.
One thing's for sure: #71 might lose his “C.” And if he does, Moritz Seider is tipped to be the next captain of the storied franchise, according to Ansar Khan (Oilers Now).Ansar Khan: Re Red Wings: Mo Seider will be the next captain; I wouldn't be surprised if that happens even if Dylan Larkin comes back – Oile]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/dylan-larkin-could-lose-his-captaincy-even-if-he-stays/Mon, 20 Jul 2026 02:00:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/dylan-larkin-could-lose-his-captaincy-even-if-he-stays/ But in 2026, at ages 31 and 32, it feels like he's hitting a wall. A small wall, but a wall nonetheless.

One of the trade rumors that will generate the most buzz is the one involving Francisco Lindor.

Woodside, 31, is currently a free agent. In 2025, he was on the practice squads for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals, though he did not play in any NFL regular-season games.

Especially in Montreal, where the need to add a big, goal-scoring right winger is obvious.

That means the Bombers will have to find solutions from within the organization. And that clearly can't be Anthony Volpe.

With an average annual salary of $18 million, Leo Carlsson currently accounts for 17.31%]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/these-two-players-have-already-accounted-for-a-larger-share-of-their-teams-payroll-than-leo-carlsson/Sun, 19 Jul 2026 18:29:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/these-two-players-have-already-accounted-for-a-larger-share-of-their-teams-payroll-than-leo-carlsson/ Fortunately, the NFL star and his family members, who were inside the house at the time of the incident, were not injured.

A few names were floated this summer, but Kent Hughes decided to maintain the status quo after seeing the massive contracts handed out to several players.
We can therefore assume that Hughes is banking on reinforcemen]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/florian-xhekaj-isnt-likely-to-play-in-the-nhl-anytime-soon/Sun, 19 Jul 2026 17:03:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/florian-xhekaj-isnt-likely-to-play-in-the-nhl-anytime-soon/ Several players were in town for the occasion.

This latest loss is all the more concerning given that the team also lost its starting quarterback, Nathan Rourke, to a shoulder injury early in the game.
The game quickly turned into a nightmare for the Lions. On just the second offensive play, Nathan Rourke was hit hard by linebacker Noah Tay]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/the-worst-case-scenario-has-come-true-for-the-british-columbia-lions/Sun, 19 Jul 2026 16:15:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/the-worst-case-scenario-has-come-true-for-the-british-columbia-lions/ At first glance, $15 million a year seems like a lot, but in reality, it could quickly turn out to be a steal.
As we all know, thanks to a hostile offer, Leo Carlsson signed a five-year deal worth $18 million a year.
It's easy to compare Bedard's and Carlsson's situations because they were drafted first and second, respectively, in the 2023 draft, and they both made their NHL]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/connor-bedard-leo-carlssons-contract-didnt-change-anything/Sun, 19 Jul 2026 16:04:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/connor-bedard-leo-carlssons-contract-didnt-change-anything/ Because, in fact, all the sources who brought up the subject believed that St-Louis—who has one year left on his current deal—would quickly sign a contract extension.
It was just a formality. And yet, nothing has been announced yet.
