  1. Scouting pretty much put to a halt as leagues are suspending or even cancelling their seasons. Going to be challenging for teams to finalise their draft lists as there is less viewing sample than in previous seasons. They won't know how guys perform in the post-season or in a pressured environment like the U18. The U18 was also the opportunity to see how Europeans matchup to North American skaters.
  2. Wouldn't really be fair to teams who don't have the financial resources of teams like Vancouver, Toronto etc.
  3. 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.
  4. This standings overview is incorrect. Nashville is ahead of Vancouver. They've both played 69 games and each have 78pts. The tie-breaker is no longer ROW this season but RW and Nashville has 28 regular wins to Vancouver's 27.
  5. If it was primarily a gate revenue league they would not keep a team in Arizona or Florida yet they don't want to move out of those markets. The largest income comes from sponsorship and market penetration rate takes priority over gate revenue. The league probably prefers to play in empty arenas than suspend or cancel the season. Health concerns might not give them a choice.
  6. Seravalli looks at how COVID-19 could impact the salary cap: But in the longer term, substantial revenue lost would have a direct impact on next season’s salary cap. There is a provision in the Collective Bargaining Agreement that any money owed to the owners by players in excess of what was collected in this season’s escrow account comes directly off what is owed to the players next season - thus reducing the salary cap.
  7. If they return Chatfield to Utica or Domingue, they would have enough cap to activate Markstrom. They were at 154K after Boeser got activated, but to recall Chatfield had to put Markstrom on LTIR. If Markstrom is ready to return - Domingue would likely be sent back down. Would free 1.075M in cap space - which is more than the cap needed to recall Chatfield. If a team has no cap space and has less than 18 skaters + 2 goalies able to play, they can invoke roster emergency exception. They need to play 1 game short-handed then are allowed to recall a player who does not make more than 800K this season. That emergency recall wouldn't count against the cap but it's only valid as long as the team can't ice a complete lineup.
  8. With Boeser activated the Canucks only had 154K in LTIR cap relief. Markstrom has now been put on LTIR.
  9. Radulov left in the middle of his ELC and returned on his ELC per CapFriendly. They write after he left in 2009: "Player left before the third year of the contract to play in the KHL" and when he returned: "The player returned in 2011-12 to the NHL, this is a continuation of the ELC contract." https://www.capfriendly.com/players/alexander-radulov Tryamkin had completed his ELC.
  10. The 1 December deadline applied to Puljujarvi. He was a player under contract in Liiga and on the Oilers reserve list. Liiga has an agreement with the NHL while the KHL doesn't - not sure it makes a difference though.
  11. His ELC signing age was 22 per CapFriendly: https://www.capfriendly.com/players/nikita-tryamkin
  12. Yes but his injury status in the AHL doesn't affect the main team.
  13. I don't expect him to get 2M but it was the number used - 1M seems more likely. That's what I would expect to happen - Markstrom to LTIR and then Domingue demoted for the cap to work. Not sure Tryamkin can be signed for this season though as he is a RFA and not a new ELC player.
  14. Cap space is also pro-rated. The Canucks are in LTIR so they aren't banking cap space. They have 6M in LTIR cap space but that's the amount they need to activate Boeser. They would have to demote someone or put someone else on LTIR to create cap to add anyone. At the end of the season the sum of the daily cap hits cannot exceed 81.5M. Already some 86% of the season is over and as they are in LTIR they've already used up 86% of 81.5M. A 2M contract would be only some 14% of 2M today but cap space left is also only 14% of 81.5M. The pro-rata applies to both sides of the equation so it's easier to just talk in full cap hits. To add a 2M contract this season the Canucks need to move out 2M.
  15. Nothing as he is in the AHL.
  16. Beagle and him weren't put on IR. The roster report for last game vs CBJ shows them as healthy scratch. After the TDL roster limits are lifted so the Canucks probably didn't see the need to put them on IR.
  17. Canucks were 1st in the Pacific on 2 February with 65pts and had a 13pt lead on Minnesota. The Wild are for now wildcard 2 and Vancouver 1 pt outside of the post-season. Only Detroit has a worse record than Vancouver since that date.
