Just ''demote' him to the AHL for the Olympics and let him go. He would be a rookie and not subject to waivers. This should be easy and in Podz interest and good for his development. That way he doesn't get roped into an extension for 2-3 years like Trymakin Aren't all players on NHL contracts prohibited from participating? Those eligible AHL players will be on farm club contracts, not contracts with the parent team So, for example, Arseneau and Blujus would be available, but not Boucher or Jasek (to name just 2 in each category) Edited July 23, 2019 by Googlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why the league would prevent individual players from playing in the tourney. Before the pro status was the issue, players should be able to go with club permission. This would be no different from letting young players go to the WJC. Edited July 23, 2019 by Phat Fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Bettman has said he is ok with Hockey being a summer Olympic sport, but a dispute over travel, accommodation and insurance costs for a 3 week shutdown when the IOC stopped subsidizing was the death knell. To allow individual players like Ovie, Crosby, McDavid et al to choose to participate would demean the product for 3 weeks for Washington, Pittsburgh and Edmonton fans, as well as being unfair to the teams in the other 20 weeks who faced these teams with the superstars playing.

It all comes down to money in the end. What if those players get injured and are out for a month? Teams need to be prepared for this situation anyway.

How this applies to a rookie if he was to make the russian team on a ELC is a completely different scenario. Podz can be sent down to the AHL without waivers. He could be loaned to the Russian WJC team without an issue. So why would it be different for a ELC player to go for 3 weeks and come back with club permission?

So why would it be different for a ELC player to go for 3 weeks and come back with club permission? It's not related to waiver eligibility or contract type. The NHL has agreements in place that allow players to get sent to the AHL, or the WJC. The NHL has an agreement with the IIHF that its players will not play in the Olympics. You're simply ineligible for the Olympics if you're under any sort of NHL contract. McDavid was on record as wanting to go and he was still on his ELC during the 2018 Olympics, it didn't matter. https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/washington-capitals/report-iihf-assures-nhl-it-wont-allow-players-under-contract-play-olympics Quote NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Athletic last week that the International Ice Hockey Federation has assured the league that NHL players under contract won’t be allowed to participate in the Olympic tournament. To be clear, that’s not the Capitals saying Ovechkin can’t go to South Korea. Or the league saying he can’t represent his homeland. That’s the Olympic tournament’s sanctioning body saying it won’t roster NHL players who go rogue. Edited July 24, 2019 by GoldenAlien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen has yet to figure out how to use his speed effectively to get the puck to the net consistently. Might be why he’s been focusing on his stick handling and puck protection over the past two summers. Edited July 25, 2019 by DeNiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a defensive monster by any means. As for protecting the puck, he also does a decent job but it's mostly because he's skating so fast. I don't recall him turning his back to opponents in the corners, battling it out and coming away with the puck. 16 minutes ago, Canucks Curse said: JB looked pretty happy, not ecstatic like last 2 years, but not disappointed that's for sure Oh he looked plenty happy to me.

Looks like he was digging for the puck , and thought he won it between his feet. Just look how he glides the right skate. This clip in slow mo and doesn't show what happened before, but it looks like he was in a puck battle along the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
