yes the Canucks draft pic is still lottery protected. If they lose in the first round it counts as not making the playoffs and they retain their first round pic.

With all the stupid shit the NHL changes every year, it’s baffling that they haven’t patched the NCAA loophole yet.

It's an easy fix; make it like literally any other league. If the player is offered a bonafide contract and refuses to sign within the time limit (which would be by the end of their last college season for NCAA players), they re-enter the draft. If undrafted, they become unrestricted free agents. If they are re-drafted, they have a 2-year window to be signed before becoming an unrestricted free agent.

I would prefer 330 tho, I actually have that week off from work.

Whats the likelihood of the NHL canceling the playoffs again, due to ongoing climb of covid19 cases in recent weeks?

they seem hellbent on getting this done no matter what happens. that's exactly why our BC government couldn't come to terms with them in case of an outbreak. We weren't willing to risk public safety in order to host the NHL. That should tell you all you need to know about how far the NHL is willing to go to get this done.

Boeser gives an update about training camp. It is a funny post on the Canucks IG. Who knew that Petey loves to watch “Gossip Girl” ?

Just look at the stupid shit the NBA players are pulling.

I think he wanted a one-way contract.
I don't think we were in a position to give him that. IMHO, he would have started as a third pair and was no guarantee to not be a healthy scratch.

How dare the Leafs improve the product on the ice.

I could see the PA having an issue with that.
I’m not sure why the league (aka other 30 teams) would have a consensus issue with it. If teams want to invest in better coaching, scouting, player development, etc. to improve, I don’t have an issue with it.
The bigger issue I have with the Leafs are things like “Robidas Island,” which was just blatant cap circumvention using Toronto’s financial muscle. Obviously not really an issue these days as their LTIR guys (Horton, Clarkson) are legitimately injured, but there were a few years there where it was just utter BS and everyone knew it.

Kraken, the boomer meme of lameness. However, I like the jersey and logo.
