Around the NHL - Episode XLV

[Micklebot]

Maybe all the NHLers will want to be in a Canadian bubble

Of note, theNBA apparently banned retirement compensation arrangements because they felt it gave raptors an unfair advantage...

Mr. Parry has put RCAs to work for numerous pro hockey players among the Leafs and Montreal Canadiens.
He has also tried to put them in place for Toronto Raptors basketball players, but the National Basketball Association’s collective bargaining agreement bans the practice. The NBA felt the implementation of RCAs gave the Raptors, the sole franchise outside the United States, “an unfair advantage,” according to Mr. Parry

There is obviously the disadvantage of delaying compensation till your retirement, so not everyone will want to go that route.

However, the person with the RCA gets to put some of his earnings into the RCA without paying income taxes on it and only pays income taxes when he takes funds out of the RCA.

Guess we're not the only fanbase who are FAR better at design than their respective franchise.

Developing what?

 

[Bileur]

Hopefully they get an agreement to play soon. I want the pressure turned up on Tampa and others to get cap compliant.

Developing what?

I mean it seems pretty obvious that it will be stamina.

 

[Beville]

Developing what?

Stone hands?

Team Germany?

 

[BloodRedArmy]

Team Germany?

So this would be Team Canada by that logic?

He was a serviceable NHLer for several seasons despite his stone hands, he worked hard for it because he couldn't just sail by on his talent. Seems like a good type for a player development coach.

The Anacondra had hands like feet, but I was a fan of his. Good for him on getting an NHL job in retirement.

I still think that the Condra-Pageau-Lazar line was our most effective energy line. Huge reason why we made the 2015 playoffs, they allowed the top 2 lines to have more room to do their thing.

I don't get the sense that the season will start in january. Covid is so high right now.
I hope the jrs arnt cancelled that will be so awesome to watch.

I think maybe February/March is more realistic....granted 1 of the 3 top vaccines start to roll out in 3-4 weeks as speculated.

 

[GCK]

I don’t see the season starting before Feb 1 if the players don’t give in on deferring some additional salary.

Has nothing to do with Covid. It’s about money.

 

[MrInvidious]

Don't ask me how I know, but the NHL season is far more likely to start in early February than January. The league has known this for a while now but has publicly taken the stance of early January. Organizations have been expecting a later start.

Well at least we'll have something to look forward to in February for once.
