Which Canucks Would Make This Year's Hypothetical All-Star Game?
This is not the first time that the Canucks and Hurricanes have discussed a potential trade involving Nečas. Last season, reports indicated that the two teams were discussing a trade where Nečas would head to Vancouver in exchange for center Elias Pettersson. In the end, no trade occurred, and Pettersson signed an eight-year extension just a few days later.
Canucks asked about Necas in Miller trade talks but were quickly told no.

With Carolina acquiring both Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall, it looks like they are out of the Miller sweepstakes. Reporting over the past couple of days had linked the Hurricanes to Miller, but no deal appears to have materialized. Miller has also been linked to the New York Rangers and, according to reports, was almost dealt to his former team less than two weeks ago.The Canucks are slowly running out of time to make a massive trade this season. The 2025 Trade Deadline is scheduled for March 7th, which is 42 days away. Based on the way Vancouver is playing, fans can expect plenty of rumours surrounding the team up until the deadline hits.

David Peterson continues to be exception to the rule on Mets staff
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The Mets bullpen was worn out for weeks by an inability by most of the starting staff to work deep into games, necessitating multiple moves before the trade deadline. All-Star lefty David Peterson has been the lone exception to that troubling trend lately, posting the Mets' last seven outings of at least six innings pitched over his past nine appearances. The latest came in the Mets' first game after acquiring three key relief arms after Thursday's deadline, a six-inning quality start in a 4-3 loss in 10 innings Friday night against the Giants at Citi Field. The last Mets starter other than Peterson to work at least six innings was Clay Holmes on June 7 against the Rockies nearly eight weeks ago. David Peterson gave the Mets another solid start on Friday night. JASON SZENES/ NY POST 'I think it's a focus for all of us. Everyone is going out there trying to give our best for the team,' Peterson said after the game. 'Baseball's gonna work out the way it does, but I think it's an emphasis for me to try to get as deep as I can, to get through six-plus and hand it off to the revamped and loaded bullpen. 'So it's definitely a huge thing for me to try to get as deep as I can.' Peterson allowed two earned runs in the second inning on an RBI double by Casey Schmitt and an infield out by Jung Hoo Lee, but none over the next four frames until the Giants made it 3-0 against reliever Ryne Stanek in the seventh. New York Mets pitcher David Peterson (23) reacts to giving up two runs during the second inning on Friday night. Robert Sabo for NY Post But Peterson succeeded in keeping the Mets close enough until they were able to mount a comeback with three runs in the seventh and eighth to force extra innings before falling short in the 10th. 'I felt good about it. I wish I would have left the game in a different spot,' said Peterson, whose ERA for the season remained 2.83. 'They had a little bit of room, but our offense was able to come back and tie it up. So I felt good about it, but I think there are some things to go back and work on for the next one.' With 127 innings pitched over his 21 starts, the 29-year-old lefty already has exceeded his previous career best of 121 innings from one year ago. 'Just in terms of being able to add more innings year over year, I think the goal is to make every start and go as deep as I can, and where we end up numbers-wise, we end up,' Peterson said. 'Being able to have a healthy season last year, I'm trying to build off that and be available every five days.'

Chicago White Sox get their 41st win — matching last year's total — by beating Los Angeles Angels 6-3
ANAHEIM, Calif. — It wasn't the ideal beginning for Chicago White Sox pitcher Shane Smith in his return from the injured list Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. Pitching for the first time since July 11 — excluding the two batters he faced in the All-Star Game on July 15 — Smith walked Zach Neto, surrendered a single to Nolan Schanuel and walked Taylor Ward. That loaded the bases with no outs for Jo Adell. On the second pitch of that showdown, catcher Edgar Quero fired to third and picked off Neto, with Josh Rojas applying the tag. Smith eventually struck out Adell, but Yoán Moncada walked to load the bases again. He then went to a full count against Logan O'Hoppe before getting the Angels catcher to ground out to third. Smith threw 35 pitches in the first, only 15 strikes, but somehow got out of it without allowing a run. The Sox received instant offense in the second with solo home runs by Andrew Benintendi and Lenyn Sosa on the way to a 6-3 victory in front of 29,937 at Angel Stadium. Colson Montgomery and Rojas added solo homers in the sixth and ninth, respectively, as the Sox won their 41st game, matching last year's win total. Smith found some consistency after the first, allowing two runs on two hits with four strikeouts and four walks in 4 1/3 innings after being reinstated from the injured list earlier Friday. He missed time with a left ankle sprain. Jordan Leasure struck out the first four batters he faced in relief of Smith and collected the victory. The Sox (41-69) immediately gained momentum after the shaky first when Benintendi led off the second with a home run. Sosa homered with one out. Miguel Vargas singled and scored on a sacrifice fly to center by Luis Robert Jr. in the fourth to make it 3-0. Gustavo Campero hit a two-run homer with one out in the fifth, cutting the Sox lead to 3-2. Montgomery answered with his solo homer in the sixth, a 433-foot blast that was his sixth of the season. Montgomery was involved in a game-saving play in the seventh. The Sox led 4-3 with two outs when Schanuel singled to right with runners on first and second. As Travis d'Arnaud tried to score, Campero raced from first to third. Right fielder Mike Tauchman made a great relay throw to the shortstop Montgomery, who fired to third and got Campero before d'Arnaud touched the plate. The Sox added an insurance run in the eighth. Robert singled, stole second and scored on a single by Sosa. Rojas led off the ninth with a home run for more cushion.

Yastrzemski wasted no time getting his first big hit for Kansas City, hitting the two-run homer in the second inning. The Royals scored five or more runs for the eighth time in 13 games since the All-Star break. Kansas City LHP Noah Cameron (5-4, 2.44 ERA) was set to start Saturday against Toronto RHP Max Scherzer (1-1, 4.89). ___
