From NHL PR - Updated Q&A regarding pause in 2019-20 season: https://media.nhl.com/public/news/13915?sf119618002 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The NHL is providing an updated Q&A to reflect recent developments during the pause in play. We will provide regular updates to this Q&A as information changes. On March 15, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended against gatherings with 50 people-or-more for a period of eight weeks. How does that impact the NHL’s timeline on determining when the season can resume? We will continue to monitor developments during the 60-day window prescribed by the CDC. Assuming events are tracking positively, we would hope to be able to begin providing high-level guidance on the potential of opening a Club training camp period roughly 45 days into the period covered by the CDC’s recommendation. Have any NHL Players tested positive for the coronavirus? We are aware of two NHL players testing positive for the COVID-19 virus. The Ottawa Senators Players, who tested positive, presented only mild symptoms and are currently in isolation. What steps have the NHL and Senators taken as a result of the positive test to those Players? The Senators’ medical staff identified persons who might have had close contact with the athletes during the relevant time period (just before and during the period when the players were symptomatic). Senators’ Players and staff have been isolated and instructed to monitor their health and to seek advice and care, as necessary, from Club medical staff. The health of the NHL’s Players, fans and community remains the League’s highest priority. The NHL will continue to do everything it can to ensure its players, staff, fans and the greater community remain safe and healthy during this time of uncertainty. Is the plan to get all NHL Players tested for the coronavirus? Our medical experts do not recommend mass-testing for all NHL Players. Besides the fact that there would be insufficient testing resources to accommodate such a direction, the medical community does not believe that such testing is medically indicated, or in accordance with the parameters issued by applicable health authorities. Are NHL Players currently under direction to quarantine? Yes. The self-quarantine period should continue through and including Friday, March 27, unless a longer period might be required for some Players in accordance with local mandates that could be related to their recent travel. Must Players stay in their Club cities while the League is paused? Following the CDC’s recent recommendation, the Players were given the option of returning to their home cities (outside of their Club’s home cities, including outside of North America). Once the self-quarantine period for Players is over, will they be allowed to resume meeting/skating as a team to stay in shape and prepare themselves for a resumption of play? At the end of the self-quarantine period -- and depending on developments regarding COVID-19 between now and then -- consideration will be given to allowing the opening of Club facilities to Players in scheduled and coordinated small groups for voluntary training and Club care. Will there be any testing for COVID-19 required before the Players return in such a scenario? If a Player exhibits symptoms or becomes sick and testing for COVID-19 is recommended by Club medical staff, the Player will be tested. We do not anticipate the need to conduct League-wide testing for all NHL Players for COVID-19 prior to their returning to NHL Club facilities. Has any decision been made regarding whether the remainder of the regular season will be played? Has any decision been made regarding what form the Stanley Cup Playoffs would take? No. The form and format of resumption of play scenarios will depend entirely on what transpires between now and when we are permitted and able to resume -- and, ultimately, on timing and taking into account logistical constraints. We are going to have to be flexible and react to events as they unfold as well as the best medical advice available. Will games resume in arena venues that are closed to the public? It is premature to say what the circumstances would be for resumption of play, but we are prepared to follow the direction of relevant health authorities. If the NHL playoffs go into July and/or August, could there be a shortened regular season next year? No. We do not anticipate a scenario in our resumption of play format that would endanger or interfere with the League’s ability to stage and execute the 2020-21 NHL season in its entirety. Have any decisions been made regarding the 2020 Draft or Combine? At this time, no decisions have been made regarding the timing or format of the NHL Draft or Combine. How will the League handle Player contracts that expire July 1 in the event the season’s end is delayed? Any decision we make on the schedule and critical dates calendar during the off-season ultimately will be done in conjunction with the NHLPA and, in that context, the parties will discuss how best to accommodate the resumption of play determinations that are ultimately made.

The 1st sentence bolded is about the conditions to become a group 6 UFA once their NHL contract expires. There are 3 conditions: everyone that is (1) at least 25 at the end of their NHL contract and (2) who have been playing pro-hockey for at least 3 years and (3) have not reached 80 NHL games (28 for a goalie). The 2nd section you underline explains what are pro-seasons. Need to be under a NHL contract for it to count. For a game in a pro-league abroad to count the player must be under an SPC/NHL contract and have been loaned there. Those 4 pro-seasons didn't count because he was not under an SPC. The length of an ELC is based on age at signing. Tryamkin was considered 22 and at that age the ELC/SPC is for 2 years. Tryamkin met only 1 of the 3 conditions - he had not reached 80 NHL games but he was not yet 25 and also did not have 3 pro-seasons. That SPC was expiring on 30 June of the year he left but as only 1 condition was met, the Canucks were able to qualify him and retain his rights. Tryamkin is at 79 NHL games - once he reaches 80 he can no longer qualify for group 6 UFA. He could become UFA next summer at 26 (if he signs a 1 year deal) only if he doesn't play that 1 NHL game - he would be over 25 and will have 3 pro-seasons. Doesn't sound like the transfer agreements matter and the 1 December deadline applies to all RFAs.

Doesn't sound like it's a concern per Bill Daly: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/bill-daly-talks-nhl-playoff-ideas-player-testing-salary-cap-impact/ On if ice conditions are a worry in some markets if hockey is to be played in the summer months… “We’re in the 21st Century now and while some buildings perhaps don’t have the same capability as others in producing top, top, top, quality ice, I think most of our buildings are pretty good and where we have deficiencies we’re able to fill those deficiencies at warm times of year, so I don’t think ice making is really a consideration at all.”

It's only years where the player is under a NHL contract that count - highlighted in red in the article you quoted. "While under an SPC" - SPC stands for Standard Player Contract in the NHL. The article talks of 3 or more professional seasons while under an SPC. For games abroad to count the player must be loaned over while under a NHL contract. Tryamkin was under an SPC for only 2 seasons. His years at home were not under an SPC and don't count for that article. It's for players who become unrestricted free agents - Rodin, Grenier, Kenins all became UFAs because of that article. Transfer agreements have no effect on that article. That article doesn't apply for Tryamkin - if it did he would have become a UFA and not a RFA.

Signed with Calgary.

Group 6 UFA is for players who have been under a NHL contract for at least 3 years (Tryamkin has only 2) and have not reached 80 NHL games by 25. Teams lose the rights to players who qualify for group 6 UFA. Kenins and Grenier were group 6 UFA and the Canucks lost their rights - a qualifying offer was not possible because they were no longer considered RFAs. Kenins came from the Swiss League where there is also no transfer agreement. It didn't make him a RFA. Tryamkin is not a Group 6 UFA but a RFA - the Canucks qualified him to retain his rights.

Only 10.1 has a c (i) and (ii) but it covers group 6 UFAs. That was for players like Kenins and Grenier, where the Canucks lost their rights at 25 and they were able to go to free agency. Tryamkin is a RFA.

Bill Daly said that their priority is to play a full 82 game next season. They won't consider any options that would truncate next season. He was on LeBrun/Burnside's podcast. “The only definite for us is we certainly don’t want to do anything around a resumption of play this season that will impact our ability to have a full season next year,” Daly said. “So that’s kind of the outside parameters and rules we’re following currently. Everything else is kind of up for grabs for lack of a better term. There are lots of possibilities. We do have people working internally on those scenarios and what they look like and what the feasibility is.”

Don't think it would interest the Sharks. Wilson doesn't want to rebuild and Demko is not yet proven enough to be already a number 1. Wilson has every intention for his team to compete now - several of the guys he lists as core are hitting or are already in their 30s. They want to win now before that group ages out. Eriksson would just be wasting cap space. They are more likely to use that space to sign a legit starter that can win with their current core.
