Wonder how that would work cap-wise. Would sending Loui/ Sven there essentially be the same as sending them to the minors? It wouldn’t be the same because they would still be getting NHL salaries. Their cap hit likely wouldn’t count towards the cap until they’re activated. Whether that means we save the same amount of cap with Loui as if he were in the minors I’m not sure. That would be nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 So I guess you only play your divisional opponents 8 times each? And no out of division play until the playoffs, in a bubble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no out of division play until the playoffs, in a bubble? Don't know if the plan has changed but a month or so ago they were talking of having the top-4 teams of each division qualify for the post-season. The divisional format would be kept until the end of the 2nd round when there's 1 team standing per division. The league is trying to remain as flexible as possible and the format could change as the season goes along if borders open up. The divisional breakdown might not last the full season but as long as the border is closed they won't change the format for equity reasons. If the Canada division can only play each other so will the other divisions. 36 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: ugh... Calgary 8X... 9x or maybe even 10x. There are only 7 teams in the Canadian division while the others have 8. 56 games against 6 opponents would be 4x 9 games + 2x 10 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see hockey, but I doubt it's going to happen. Unless there's a series of bubble arenas. So does that mean they play the other 6 teams in Canada 9 times? (54 games?) That would give us a taste of the original six era that's for sure. I think as long as the players stick to the rules in place things should be fine. It seems a lot of the NFL cases have happened when players break protocol, same with baseball. Of all the major sports hockey players seem the most likely to refrain from getting bombed at a strip club the night before a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but on paper it looks unbalanced. The division with the New Yorks looks much stronger than the others. A team like Buffalo probably thought they had a good chance of making it in the Atlantic after adding Hall... now it just got twice as tough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there is a pushback on the re-alignment so these divisions might not stand other than Canada. In the initial version it was Pittsburgh in lieu of Carolina. The East has far less travel and no time zone issue but looks to be the group of death while the Central looks more balanced with Tampa ahead of the pack and Detroit/Chicago trailing but the middle 5 could be pretty close. STL and MIN were switched in the earlier version but the Wild wanted to stay in the Central given the time zone difference - maybe now an issue for STL. The Pacific also looks to be the least competitive with a clear top-4 and bottom-4. They need 2/3rds of the Board of Governors to approve a re-alignment per LeBrun.
