These are the worst U.S. airports for international travel this summer
Flying internationally involves a bit more preparation as well as time spent in the airport. As we get into peak summer travel season, clearing customs and immigration could take even more time as checkpoints face backups. Just as some major airports are known for more hassle than others, some have longer wait times at immigration checkpoints than others. New data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection reveals the worst airports for international travel, where you'll likely wait far longer to clear immigration. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) comes in as the number one worst airport for international travel. Average wait to reach a Customs and Border Protection agent? 31.8 minutes. Non-U.S. citizens can expect 43.7 minutes in line, and 12.8% of all travelers find themselves stuck for over an hour. Chicago O'Hare (ORD) is just as bad. The overall average wait time here is a fraction of a second faster, at 31.7 minutes. U.S. citizens can expect an average wait of 27.3 minutes, while non-U.S. citizens could face 40.3 minutes in line. ORD also has the highest percentage of travelers who wait more than an hour in line, at 13.6%. Nashville International (BNA) might have a much lower passenger volume, but it has surprisingly long wait times. Immigration waits average 31.1 minutes, with only 20.2% of travelers breezing through in under 15. On the flip side, airports known for their efficiency and speedy immigration lines include Palm Beach International (PBI) with an average wait time of 3.5 minutes, John Wayne Airport (SNA) at 6.4 minutes and Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) at 7.5 minutes. So if you're traveling internationally this summer and you have a choice in airports when returning, peruse the full report here. Even arrival times matter, as the worst delays hit between 10am and 3pm. Want to skip the wait altogether? Enroll in Global Entry.

Ex-Hab Signs Two-Year Deal In Sweden
American-born Finnish right winger Jesse Ylönen, 25, has signed a two-year contract with Djurgården IF, the Stockholm-based SHL club announced on Tuesday. 'It's an honor to get the chance in such a legendary team,' said Ylönen. 'I know how much hockey means in Stockholm. I've heard that they have the best fans and the loudest arena in the league.' 'This is a really exciting player who has played a number of seasons in North America and a number of games with Montreal,' said Djurgården sports director Niklas Wikegård. 'Jesse is only 25 years old and, like the entire club, is in a phase where he wants to get better. We do not see him as a finished product, but as a player who we believe can take his game to the next level with good training and under good leadership.' Ylönen was born in Scottsdale, Ariz. in 1999 while his father, Juha Ylönen, was a player for the Phoenix Coyotes. He was raised in the Helsinki suburb of Espoo, where he played for the local Blues club, before playing three Liiga seasons for the Lahti Pelicans, recording 57 points in 130 regular-season and playoff games. Ylönen was chosen in the second round, 58th overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Between 2021 and 2024, he played in 111 NHL games for the Habs, recording 29 points and 14 penalty minutes, but spent the majority of the time with the AHL's Laval Rocket. Ylönen split the 2024-25 season between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Nashville Predators organizations, but did not play any NHL games with either team. Ylönen joins a Djurgården team that just earned a promotion from the HockeyAllsvenskan and is in the process of building a competitive SHL roster. The team will have the consensus top-two ranked European draft prospects in 18-year-olds Anton Frondell and Victor Eklund, as well as veteran center Marcus Krüger, who was a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks. 'Exciting times await Djurgården and I look forward to being a part of it,' said Ylönen.

Sharks Should Target RFA Forward Marat Khusnutdinov This Offseason
The San Jose Sharks will be looking to improve their team and get back into the playoffs sooner rather than later after a rough 2024-25 campaign. While they probably won't be pushing for a playoff spot next season, they can continue to find future stars to add to their roster that will help them down the line. One player they should look at bringing in is pending restricted free agent (RFA) Marat Khusnutdinov, who is up for a new contract for the upcoming season. He was traded from the Minnesota Wild to the Boston Bruins midseason, and while he seems to have found a solid fit in Boston, the Sharks should try and bring him in. Khusnutdinov, who is 22 years old, scored five goals and added seven assists for 12 points through 75 games this season. Throughout his career, he scored six goals and added 10 assists for 16 points through 91 games, which comes out to a 0.18 points-per-game average. His defensive game is quite strong, but his finishing ability hasn't quite been elite at the NHL level. In an increased role with the Sharks, he could build confidence and find a way to break out offensively. Realistically, Khusnutdinov is looking at a 2-3 year contract extension worth around $1 million annually, which is very affordable. If he and the Bruins can't agree on a new deal, maybe the Sharks could offer to make a trade with them instead of sending an offer sheet, and the asking price may not be too much. If the Bruins are willing to move him for a mid-round pick, the Sharks should be all over him this summer. Trending: Yegor Afanasyev Expected To Sign With Sharks For 2025-26 Season As the postseason moves along, it seems as though the San Jose Sharks are focusing on getting some of their own things done this offseason as they look to improve on what was a rough 2024-25 campaign. In a recent report, it seems as though they will be signing Yegor Afanasyev for the 2025-26 season. Sharks & Shakir Mukhamadullin Reportedly Close To Contract Extension Agreement With the 2024-25 season gone and the San Jose Sharks having shifted their focus onto the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and the 2025-26 campaign, it sounds like they are closing in on a new contract with one of their pending free-agent defenders. Sharks Prospect Carson Wetsch Flipped In Blockbuster WHL Trade The 2025 WHL Prospects Draft has now come and gone, and while there weren't many surprises or much news to report from those couple of days, there was one massive trade that caught some attention. Should The Sharks Trade Their Second Overall Pick? With reports swirling that the San Jose Sharks are open to trading their second overall pick, the question turns to: should they trade it?
