If they don't then yeah it was expensive. This is how a point percentage bracket looks: [...] Wonder if they could extend the number of teams for the playoffs rather than just 16. Some teams are really close and if you go by games played the standings would look different. Edited March 12, 2020 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BOG may already have guidelines for seasons ending early as well, I suspect that they do. What a weird year. I'm kind of scared for what happen to CDC if the league determines we're out tho, the number of bans will spike exponentially with all the fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I could actually see a one-time set of compliance buy outs. Man that would be such as good outcome for us. Wouldn't really be fair to teams who don't have the financial resources of teams like Vancouver, Toronto etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of Toffolli as a rental Alf , he fits in the top 6 as expected and if his next contract is in the 5-6m range I think they would find a way to keep him. Thats when I thought the cap was going up tho , yesterday my biggest Canuck worry was how fast they could get Tryamkin back here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the league gives each team a couple compliance buyouts this summer. We buy out Loui and Sutter. Then we can afford Tofu. The UFAs this summer are going to get peanuts though. I see most signing one year deals. We might get Tofu and Marky for cheap one year contracts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they play to empty arenas, won't that give us an advantage, given how poor the atmosphere is in ours? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Imagine giving away a first rounder for 8 regular season games of two assists from Barclay Goodrow. If the season gets cancelled, I definitely feel for all the GMs that traded picks/prospects at the deadline. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'd be happy for them to freeze the season and just try to have playoffs start before it gets too hot, or a condensed playoffs like best of 3 or 5 if need be. Worst case scenario, end the season now, tally up the board based on win % and ROW, wait until end of May/June then start the playoffs. If there's time, normal 7 game series otherwise we make it shorter. Would make it interesting for sure, any team could win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Every league is suspending for 30 days I'd expect the NHL to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a good solution would be to re-do the remaining schedule so that all teams finish with 72 games played. It would give the playoff bound teams at least one game to get ready for playoff action and it would give the bubble teams the opportunity to win, or lose their playoff spot. I just don't see how this would work logistically and fairly for all teams. Some teams have played as many as 71 games and some as few as 68. Getting the fairest match ups and then trying to schedule arenas etc just would not work. If they do end up having playoffs then either the points % of the current standings or using the records of each team after the least amount of games played for any one team (68) makes the most sense. Either way the Canucks would be in, 3rd in the Pacific based on current points % and the 2nd WC based on the 68 game records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalie13 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Apparently the Athletic has removed its paywall for COVID-19 related articles. I am a subscriber so I don't know if it's true or not. Still, here's an article on what could happen, maybe. Quote The best-case scenario here, according to several sources contacted by The Athletic late Wednesday night, would mean the shutdown lasts only three weeks and the NHL playoffs would begin essentially as scheduled in mid-April. Teams would be ranked by points percentage and given playoff berths as if the season had, in fact, ended on March 11 instead of April 4. https://theathletic.com/1671378/2020/03/12/what-will-the-nhl-season-look-like-if-it-resumes-after-the-coronavirus-shutdown/?source=shared-article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
