Hearing that Arizona and St Louis may play each other to replace cancelled games.

 

[LadyStanley]

Getting frequent flyer miles and lots of quarantine time

 

[Barrie22]

They still need to fix this goalie waiver thing. Some goalies are going to miss the entire year because they keep getting waived and picked up and then needing to do the quarantine/visa thing before joining the new team only to be waived and picked up again to do the entire process over again.

The nhl had more waiver pick ups in the first week of this season then some seasons had all year long. And the majority of them were goalies.

I don’t think the goalies mind it. They get to stay in the NHL and avoid taking a huge pay cut.

Do they though? Every one that has been put on waivers and claimed has been put straight back onto waivers again. 1 goalie already has been claimed 3 times.

As soon as they clear waivers, they move from NHL to AHL pay. Grosenick, for example, takes a 50% pay cut. Any player that has made enough money to be set for life might be annoyed but I suspect most of these guys are happy to get paid at the NHL level as long as possible.

 

[LadyStanley]

Most goalies are being waived to go on TS. (They still get the AHL rate there)

However, many of these guys are veteran enough they have one-way deals so get same pay regardless of if they are playing in NHL, on TS or in AHL.

 

[Lebanezer]

So is Lebrun really this out of touch?

 

[LadyStanley]

He lives in Canada.

 

[Lebanezer]
