Provost Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 38 minutes ago, mll said: The KHL has black listed several NHL agents because they don't want them trying to bring players over to the NHL. Would be surprised if the KHL will allow out clauses in the middle of the season. They have a salary cap now and losing a good player is going to hurt their end of season and playoffs. He's RFA so he has to sign by the new 1 December date - the KHL season will likely not be done by that new date unless the NHL starts so much later than January. He wouldn't be leaving mid season, that is the entire point. That December deadline will obviously be pushed to significantly later if the NHL season is starting 3 months later.... just pushing it equally means March 1st. Any KHL player on a team not in the playoffs would have their season done by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That December deadline will obviously be pushed to significantly later if the NHL season is starting 3 months later.... just pushing it equally means March 1st. Any KHL player on a team not in the playoffs would have their season done by then. I understand your argument but it hinges on his team missing the playoffs. Any team in the playoffs won't be done by that date. With the discussions of changing the season's calendar there might always be a long gap between the end of his KHL season and the start of the NHLs. There might be options to play at the Worlds next year though rather than just wait like now. The NHL season will still be underway so they won't get the NHLers - maybe the opportunity for him to make the team. Less likely he could take a AHL contract to bridge the gap, if his team is in the playoffs and misses the NHL's RFA signing deadline. The AHL can add players at the TDL no? That would be much later than the new 1 December (likely 1 March) deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get a kick out of the people who think JB is the only GM in the league who has ever signed a bad contract. Though he's given out a couple of questionable ones, I think he's done a pretty good job managing things. Ironically, the covid situation might actually benefit the Canucks in the long run by keeping Petey and Hughes at a reasonable cap hit 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick go on the defensive use some poor sarcasm and try to deflect. We won’t be able to resign the players that ADD and actually contribute because we DO have dead weight contracts, but I guess you rather have Erickson bear Sutter And even Myers than A toffoli tanev markstrom stecher JV Or tryamkin. We won’t be able to afford All of them because of the BAD Contracts JB has handed out Sorry if the truth hurts your ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 So everything I’ve read about a possible start up to finish this season and playoffs,. Has players showing up to teams as “voluntary”.. perhaps the league is shooting themselves in the foot by NOT allowing players in the similar position as Tryamkin to sign and play if their rights are held by an NHL club.. that includes drafted College players as well. thoughts?

Play-offs. I suppose they will go ahead but shouldn't. The two hot spots for corona is Florida and Arizona amongst other Southern climes. The Lighting staff and players registered 11 cases of new infection and some basketball players I understand are declining to play. If you want a career as an Athlete you need to safeguard your health for the future, sacrificing your lungs is not a good idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen that over 60% of people who test positive are asymptomatic. We're talking about world class athletes...all of them. This disease is killing old and sick people. At this point, many of us have the virus and don't even know it. Thank God it's not as deadly as it might have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor California. We thought we had flattened the curve, so we reopened the beaches, bars and restaurants and today saw the highest ever number of new cases in one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
