Report: NHL settling on date for draft lottery

Probable draft lottery date April 9. Not like it will impact the Sharks, unless DW trades up.

 

[LadyStanley]

First eliminated, first to secure post season standing.

Ignominious.

Ignominious.

They have been eliminated from the playoffs for a longer time then this. They are 42 points back from a playoff spot right now.

What a poor year for the Red Wings. One of the worst seasons from a NHL team in quite some time.

And I posted when they were eliminated from playoffs (back in February, before the TDL).

Players (like Marleau) are being allowed to return to their families. Other players are asked to remain in their NHL cities.

A some point, players will be allowed to return to rink/training facilities "in small groups". When is not known (yet).

The league will not shorten 2020-2021 season to accommodate late end to 2019-2020 season per Daly (LeBrun interview). So, games/series may be cut/shortened. (Best of 3 instead of best of 7? Who knows)

Nothing re-scheduled WRT combine (late May in Buffalo) or draft (slated for Montreal). YET.

 

[LadyStanley]

RS game(s) or playoff game(s) definitely have different weights.

Tuukka Rask hints at possible retirement after current contract

Although he'll only be 34 after next season, the Vezina winner may hang his pads up when that time comes.

Contract up next summer

 

[LadyStanley]

So 2 Sens and 2 Avs, plus assorted no players have been announced league wide?
