Mammoth top pick Caleb Desnoyers out approximately 12 weeks
Utah Mammoth rookie forward Caleb Desnoyers underwent wrist surgery and is expected to be sidelined approximately 12 weeks, general manager Bill Armstrong announced Thursday.
The Mammoth selected Desnoyers with the fourth overall pick of the 2025 NHL Draft.
Desnoyers, 18, recorded 84 points (35 goals, 49 assists) in 56 games last season for Moncton of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.
He added 30 points (nine goals, 21 assists) in 19 playoff games, winning the QMJHL playoff MVP trophy and leading to the Wildcats to the league title.
He has yet to sign his NHL entry-level contract and could choose to play in college in the upcoming season.

Elks aim to 'validate' their work vs. Argonauts
(Photo credit: Anne-Marie Sorvin-Imagn Images) Cody Fajardo aims to continue his strong play on Friday as the Edmonton Elks host the Toronto Argonauts in a battle of cellar-dwelling teams in their respective divisions. Fajardo has fared well since taking over for Tre Ford under center, throwing for 892 yards and five touchdowns over the last three games. The two-time Grey Cup champion threw for 289 yards and two scores to lead the Elks (2-6) to a 23-22 victory over the Montreal Alouettes last Friday. Fajardo found fellow former Alouette Kaion Julien-Grant for a 15-yard touchdown with 15 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The late scoring strike enabled Edmonton to notch its first win since a 39-33 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks on July 6. 'You can't rest on your laurels, right?' Fajardo said. 'Just because we win a football game, 'OK, everything's figured out.' 'Like I said, you validate the work. But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to do the extra stuff, I'm not going to do what I need to do to get that win.' The Elks will now set their sights on a Toronto defense that yielded 429 yards of offense to Ottawa in a 46-42 setback to the Redblacks on Saturday. The defending Grey Cup champion Argonauts (2-7) saw their 21-point lead in the first quarter go by the boards, much to the chagrin of head coach Ryan Dinwiddie. 'I sound like a broken record talking to them after the game,' Dinwiddie said. 'I just told them I'm not going to quit on them and I don't think those guys quit on us, but I think we have some pretenders in the building who like to talk a big game and don't show up on game day. 'If you don't love it, let me know. I know I love it and I'm not going to quit.' Nick Arbuckle completed 32 of 38 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for another score. Arbuckle, who is second in the CFL in passing yards (2,651) and passing touchdowns (16), will now take aim at an Edmonton defense that has allowed at least 28 points on six occasions this season.

Could Mitch Marner join Nazem Kadri in the Stanley Cup-winning ex-Leafs club?
Former Toronto forward captured the Cup as part of the Colorado Avalanche in 2022. Get the latest from Lance Hornby straight to your inbox Nazem Kadri of the Colorado Avalanche lifts the Stanley Cup after defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning during the 2022 Stanley Cup final.

Create Account Among those who had an awkward exit but later lifted the trophy, Nazem Kadri had the most memorable quote. While in Toronto, his recklessness in the name of sticking up for teammates or sending foes a message each spring eventually resulted in a trade. 'For everyone who thought I was a liability in playoffs, you can kiss my ass,' the 2022 champion shouted as his Colorado Avalanche celebrated. Amid an NHL-worst 58-year drought, lack of success has been particularly hard to swallow for Leafs Nation loyalists who fawned over then fell out with several stars. Four years before Kadri, Phil Kessel celebrated his second Cup in Pittsburgh after relations soured with the team and fans, followed in 2019 by the highly regarded Tyler Bozak with the Blues and Kessel again with a small role for Vegas in '23.

Since 2021, Zach Hyman has done everything but win it after the beloved home-towner priced himself out of the Leafs budget. He moved from left wing with Auston Matthews to Connor McDavid's flank in Edmonton, where he scored 50 and helped the Oilers to two Stanley Cup finals. Now the concern is whether winger Mitch Marner will haunt the franchise. The fifth-highest scorer in franchise history preferred a deal sending him to the Golden Knights over an extended contract in Toronto, where his lack of playoff production has been under relentless scrutiny. 'It was his time to move on,' Kadri said of his ex-teammate during a chat with the Toronto Sun ahead of the Hockey Diversity Alliance's SummerFest event, taking place this Saturday. 'Maybe every player needs that fresh start. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Mitchy played a lot of good hockey here, a dynamic player to watch with the puck on his stick. Fans should be proud of what he did. 'I want him, all of them, to do well, but not because of (trying to prove fans wrong). It's because you've been in the trenches with them, how all that brought you together. We're still good buddies. I just mentioned to him to watch out because now we're in the same (Pacific) division.' Kadri revealed he was at a couple of the Toronto-Florida Panthers second-round playoff games. The Leafs have not made it to the third round of the playoffs since 2002. 'Sure, I was cheering for them as I always do, but they faced a really great team. I have lot of friends who are still big Leafs fans and I've tried to watch them on TV, too.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Read More Now 34 years old and about to play his 1,000th regular-season game — potentially in November — Kadri continues to contribute, leading Calgary with 35 goals last season, though the Flames missed the playoffs. It's a reason why some Leafs fans still keep a torch burning for Kadri, especially when general manager Brad Treliving talked of improving the DNA after a rather meek exit to the meaner Panthers. A possible reunion became topical around the time Marner left in July, but Kadri has tried to pump the brakes. He has a seven-year, $49-million US deal that does not expire until 2028-29, though it was signed when Treliving was GM of the Flames. At present, the Leafs have two set centres in Auston Matthews and John Tavares along with the incoming Nicolas Roy. 'That (rumour) certainly picked up momentum,' Kadri said with a laugh. 'Everyone knows my connection with Tree and his family. 'But Calgary is a great city and I certainly enjoy it for the time being. No one knows what the future holds.' lhornby@ X: @sunhornby Sunshine Girls Toronto & GTA Sunshine Girls World Columnists
