If there are dozens of games that are played without attendance then that's going to drastically affect the revenue which will in turn affect next seasons salary cap. Friedman just said it could actually go down. Was thinking about this today. Wonder if each team might get a compliance buy out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 2 minutes ago, Boone Jenner said: Wonder with the loss in revenue due to the cancellation if this will affect the new projected cap. There are concerns that the cap could even decrease. Seravalli: "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." Similar take by Mirtle: "Not to mention the financial aspect of the shutdown, as 15 percent of regular-season gate revenues would be wiped out -- which would result in massive escrow increases for players and a potentially lowered cap for teams next season." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just now, milk and honey said: Is it a blessing in disguise that the NHL season canceled just as the nucks r out of a playoff spot? It's possible there won't be playoffs to be had. It's a blessing if the season is just postponed such that the Canucks get the rest they need to come out firing like they did early in the season 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milk and honey Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 4 minutes ago, NaveJoseph said: I think they should put a cap on the regular season, say at 72 games. So teams can compete for a playoff spot for a few more games, and then play the playoffs. Whatever happens, I don't think the playoffs should be cancelled. That would be a waste of a season, and be unfair for teams that have traded for assets. Better just delay the playoffs until later and base who gets in on win percentage. Ya this is the most fair. Toffoli and other trades got seriously trolled if they canceled everything. I would imagine that most fans would love to have 2 champions, 2 playoffs in a normal season time flame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The TSN panel has been dissecting this all morning, and one of them mentioned the financial importance of playoffs. Owners will want to still have playoffs at some point, because those games generate so much revenue. They would probably prefer to shorten next season in order to have playoffs this year, even in late summer, if needed. Not sure how they`re going to determine the drafting order though, if they still do that in late June or maybe they push it back to July/August. It`s going to get really interesting. I think I could handle taking 3 months off (early off season for players?), then resuming the last few games in late June, starting the playoffs on July 1st, etc. Hockey over the summer sounds okay. And then a month later they have training camp, and then maybe in November/December the 2020/21 season will start. That would be weird, but at least we would have hockey.

I made a small edit to my original post to make it easier for simple minds to understand. The rest of my OP was pretty clear in terms of what I was saying in that the flu virus and coronavirus are not the same type of virus at all. I clarified that in my 2nd post. I like how you seem to talk about precision of language when you don't even use punctuation or grammar, and your paragraph structure is terrible lol. no you are a shape shifter intending to manipulate in your posting and you are prepared to be petty and derogatory when challenged the use of language and structure in my posting has a different purpose and the intention of my posting is to be accurate not deceptive other readers can draw their own conclusions from reading our respective posts i'm not wasting any more of my time in this discussion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue is that is a bunch of ifs. Experts are saying another 12 months before a cure and some are saying it will get worst. I don't think we are understanding how serious this thing is if the stock market is dropping at a unprecedented rate, entertainment is canceled resulting in millions if not billions lost world wide. Not just NA sports affected. Most of Europe top soccer leagues are canceling games, including the champions league. Olympics, and euros might not happen this year they are meeting to discuss options next week. POTUS was in the same room as someone with the disease. Italy is on shut down and usa is almost the same. Israel is close as well. Asia from what I know is just a disaster. Even as I'm typing I am thinking this is way overhype by the media and famous people but we are 12months away from a cure and in like 3months it's this big already. Really difficult to say what will happen with the playoffs, draft, ect... Time will tell but safety, health and just overall life is the most important thing. Money, profit, need to take a back seat across the world for the time being 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season doesn't resume they can't burn a year and might prefer then to just reach free agency. Will Lockwood is in that category. oh man, if we're still dealing with this in August thats going to be a problem way down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whcanuck Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If they use the standings as is, why is Nashville ahead of Vancouver for the last playoff spot?

Vancouver won all 3 games The tie breaker has been changed this season - they've introduced RW ahead of ROW. With the same number of games played the tie-breaker is wins in regulation and Nashville has 28 to Vancouver's 27. ROW comes after RW.
