Seems he'd be hinting at Matthews, but has this guy ever broken anything.

That is why I say for what it's worth. Just interesting as there has been no news of Matthews/Andersen recently, and they are not in Toronto.

and cases are spiking there. But, it's going to take a lot more than some guy with a podcast and 3,000 twitter followers to believe it has any substance.

Edit: I guess he's a former NoDak guy. But even then I'm highly skeptical. It is probably Biznasty.

Who knows really, but it could explain why no Freddie/Auston yet. They should have been back already so they could complete the 14-day quarantine period. Otherwise it pushes their availability back until July.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Training camp is still almost a month away.

They aren't there because they are not allowed to cross the border due to travel bans.

 

[Duke Silver]

Yeah I don't think this rises to the threshold of being threadworthy.

They are. Nick Robertson already came back from California.

The government has given athletes a travel waiver

fyi dude has played with many big time USA NHLers in his life just looking at his elite prospects page

i'd say there's a decent chance he's heard something

 

[Rude Dog]

And with the number one pick in the 2020 nhl draft the Leafs select....

 

[Dave92]

Might not be that bad if it means they have next to no risk of becoming infected during the playoffs.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

I was in Scottsdale just as the whole pandemic thing came down and NYC and other north eastern cities were going into total lockdown so I went home to be near family. I told my friends who I was visiting that the governor of AZ should shut down the borders to non-residents because at the time there were almost zero cases there. I was right - rich people from NYC, Chicago and other big cities fled for winter homes and vacation rentals in AZ and Florida. And brought the virus with them.

My 88 year old uncle winters there and came home in a full hazmat suit. At 88 and the hysteria at the time he wasn't taking any chances.

Lets hope Matthews tells the team this time lol

There has already been articles as to why Matthews/Freddy haven't returned yet since they were already skating/training in Arizona and no need to leave to sit 14 days in Quarantine in Toronto when restrictions are presumed to be easing soon (when it comes to Quarantine time).

Why would this be huge? Training camp is still weeks away, and elite professional athletes in their twenties are as low-risk as it gets.

Recovery is different for everyone.
COVID-19 Complications

It can take time to feel better after you have pneumonia. You may feel more tired than usual for a while. You might also find that you can’t exercise like you used to.

Some people had a cough even after they recovered from COVID-19. Others had scarring in their lungs. Doctors are still studying whether these effects are permanent or might heal over time.

Whoever it is, are they even sick or feeling anything more than mild symptoms? Likely they were tested to travel and were positive.

College teammate of Jonathan Toews, T.J. Oshie, Travis Zajac plus numerous other more marginal players who have played in the NHL.

Maybe it's a bunch of Coyotes guys?

 

[deletethis]

A lot of NHL guys spend the off-season in Arizona. Based on the innocuous nature of the virus to the young and healthy, I bet that none of these players even knew they were sick while testing positive.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Not surprising.. Arizona is a massive hotbed for Coronavirus right now

They were specifically not coming back to Toronto to avoid the quarantine period until it is lifted.

travel bans are lifted, they would just have to quarantine for 14 days
