Does Kevin Labanc now regret taking that below-market one-year, $1 million dollar contract last summer?

“At the time, the best thing for me was to take a discount, do the best that I can to help the team get to the playoffs. Obviously, it didn’t happen,” Labanc told San Jose Hockey Now. “But that’s the goal. We all want to see Jumbo win the Stanley Cup.”

We caught up with Labanc for a SJHN+ exclusive yesterday — the 24-year-old winger also talked about being USA Hockey’s last choice for their U17 team, his favorite Dale Hawerchuk saying, why the San Jose Sharks season went south, and his thoughts on the Hockey Diversity Alliance.

Tim Heed was also in the news yesterday, as HC Lugano announced his signing. The door isn’t closed on Heed returning to San Jose or the NHL, however.
