2020 Playoffs

[LadyStanley]

Date: TBA

Seeding: TBD

Exact format: TBD. (Sounds like the top 4 Western Conference teams will play a round robin to determine final seeding. Then play the respective winners of the 8-team best-of-3 play-in series. But is first round best of 5 or best of 7? Are rounds 3-4 best of 7?)


But VGK are among the top teams in odds (6/1) for winning the Stanley Cup per oddsmakers this past week.

Really shouldn't take all the way to July 1 to start training camps, but I'll live with it.

 

[LadyStanley]

So who you got for a 28 player roster?

 

[sabresfan65]

Thinking Pirri, Brown, Quinney, Dugan, Hague, Schuldt, and Bishoff as the added 7.

This is where I cough while saying Glass. Can't see us taking Dugan over Elvenes either way.

 

[LadyStanley]

Journeymen may get more attention than an unproven just-signed draftee.

Teams are going to war (aka playoffs) and need to have guys who will be able to step in in case of injuries and starters falter.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Dugan isn't going to be eligible. New contracts can't be signed for this year.

Glass would be a lock if he's healthy, but he probably won't be. So Pirri/Brown/Quinney/Hague/Bishcoff for sure. Then 1 of Mckenzie/Zykov and 1 of Coghlan/Megna/Schuldt.

Are they going to be allowed a third goaltender or will they have to pray for no injuries? And who would the choose from Dansk and Sparks?

Unlimited number of goalies allowed.

 

[LadyStanley]

My guess is they'll have both Dansk and Sparks in town, with Fleury and Lehner.

I don't think Glass will be healthy. I thought he was going to be ready for training camp but not for any of the summer camps.

Dugan isn't going to be eligible. New contracts can't be signed for this year.

When was this announced?

I also don't see them inviting anyone from "Chicago" that won't be at least in Henderson (other than goalies) next year so I doubt they want to bring in Zykov. If they plan on resigning McKenzie then they might bring him up, but if they don't plan on resigning him then I think they bring someone else.

Everybody are expected to be healthy for us, and Glass during an interview said he's staying game ready for the continuation of the season.

So the Knights will only get 2 games for a warm up while the play in series teams might get 3-5?

Garbage.

The NHL is making it so the play in teams have an advantage over bye in teams. Especially if they make the 1st round 5 games instead of 7.

The Knights play the Stars, Avs, and Blues once each in the round robin to determine seeding. I think I also read the NHL is planning to give every team 2 exhibition games as well.

I saw that too, so 5 vs. 5-7. Sounds as good as it can get given circumstances. And none of our games should be feisty, so less opportunities for injuries.

The earliest camps can open is July 10.

 

[GKG18]

Play Fleury against St. Louis, Lehner against Colorado and dealers choice for Dallas.

 

[LadyStanley]

I'm hearing that as part of "training camp", there will be two exhibition games per team. But nothing if held at hub or team facilities or what.

Golden Knights Playoff Roster And Lineup Projections - SinBin.vegas

Sinbin.vegas makes their prediction of 28 skaters for playoffs.

Reaves And Schmidt Share Gallant Story On Spittin' Chiclets - SinBin.vegas

Schmidt and Reaves report that (all/most of) the team stayed in LV after pause. So they won't have to go through quarantine at restart.

Schoen with his guesses for expanded roster.

Thinks Glass won't be available after knee surgery.

I think Lehner went home, so he would quarantine.

 

[LadyStanley]

Paywall. Coaches had time to analyze in detail their potential playoff opponents.

(Some teams often send a scout to view live games in advance of playing a team. But this gives team more details of how a team addressed situations that may not have been seen in limited scouting viewings.)
