mll Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) More from Seravalli - the 7 Canadian teams could end up playing in a hybrid-hub setting in probably Edmonton (unless they move to the US). https://www.tsn.ca/work-remains-before-nhl-can-drop-the-puck-for-2020-21-season-1.1566873 According to several sources, multiple provincial health authorities have not signed off on the NHL’s plan and protocol. There is expected to be minimal risk to public health, since traveling players will be restricted to only the rink and then sequestered in their team hotel - with all meals being consumed there. That means no visits to bars, restaurants or shopping. But COVID-19 numbers continue to skyrocket across the continent and hockey does not seem to be at the top of provincial priority lists to grant exemptions with hundreds dying per day. The provincial health authorities met with the NHL and NHLPA in a group call on Saturday. More discussion will take place early this week, but it is possible that the provinces decide to band together with a group philosophy - presenting a potential all-or-nothing scenario. If the provincial health authorities do not sign off, the NHL could be forced to move the seven Canadian teams to a hybrid hub in Canada (likely in Edmonton) or south of the border for the season. “It is the current plan to play games in the home arenas of participating teams while understanding that most arenas will not, at least in the initial part of the season, be able to host fans,” the NHL’s press release said Sunday. “However, depending on prevailing conditions both in local markets and across North America, the league will be prepared to play games in one or more neutral site venues per division should it become necessary.” Edited December 21, 2020 by mll 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey40 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Lol so we can have multiple flights that anyone can get on going in and out of this province with no way to track these people. But as soon as it’s NHL teams suddenly it’s not okay? Doesn’t make sense to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The League is to start in 3 weeks and Looking at Cap Friendly, About one third of the teams are above the cap or their noses right up against it and little time to address it Owners are hurting financially, so my guess is offer sheets are probably not going to happen TB and ARZ are in Cap hell, Teams at the bottom have tons of Cap https://www.capfriendly.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By moving him from IR to LTIR they can exceed the cap by up to his cap hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Really what I was getting at with my original post is that there is precious time left, owners that don't want to spend and a large number of teams over the cap. IMHO, Something has to give and soon. Edited December 21, 2020 by Mackcanuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, Something has to give and soon. There should be movement this week. Not just trades but also UFA signings. The NHL asks for 4 negative tests over 7 days for any player flying in commercially. Training camp is short and the season is going to be compressed. Players have to pretty much arrive in their cities by the 26th to have the 7 days quarantine and be available from day 1 of camp.
