NHL RTP (Phases 3 & 4)

[Number 57]

The chances of Belzile and Teasdale being included in the 30-man roster are about zero.

Aside from our ''regular'' 18 we have about 5-6 extra NHL defensemen like Ouellet, Fleury, Alzner, Olofsson, Juulsen, etc and up front we have better players than them like Hudon, Poehling, Weal, Weise, Vejdemo, Evans, etc

Heck I would add Ylonen or Harvey-Pinard before both these guys

Blandisi is more realistic as the 30th player

I agree with you. I would think Blandisi (and maybe Lucchini) are more prepared to play than Teasdale (who hasn't played or practiced since last August) and Belzile, who hasn't played or practiced since December 4th.

Price was on the ice in Brossard this morning. Don't know if he practiced with the other guys like McNiven has or if he just went on the ice on his own.

Just heard on TSN690, no players will share a room. And each team will have their own floor in the hotel.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

So I get to stay in a hotel that is super clean, get to play hockey, have access to a pool and a bar, no roommates, get days out on the golf course and other activities, don’t have to cook or clean up after myself AND no wife and kids for up to 5 weeks and if I really need to I can still leave and comeback?

How do I opt in for that?

With no revenue being generated from having no fans in the arenas plus the costs of testing, hotel bills, etc the NHL will make maybe $2.50 in profit out of this.

It does sound like it would be great to be in there. I don't doubt their concerns and more particularly being away from their families. But it sounds like fun.

Watching the MLS teams in Orlando, you see them training, but you also get footage of them in the pool, playing mini-putt. Playing table tennis.

Yup and I’m sure there will be conjugal visits arranged with wives or significant others or just others...

Cancel the season already you greedy motherf***ers

Whether they cancel the season or not, getting a CBA extension done is a good thing, especially in these times. As a fan I don’t want to sit through another lockout.

 

[Deebs]

So now the vote over the next 3 days correct?

Exactly. The fact they agreed on the CBA is the biggest win here.

They had extended the previous CBA (that still has 2 years left to it) and signed on for another 4 years. So it should be 6 years of labor peace.

 

[Adam Michaels]

This should include Romanov. It makes no sense to me to sign and burn a year of their ELC and not be allowed to play.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So now the vote over the next 3 days correct?

It might take a bit less than that. The players have 72 hours to vote on it. But they only need a simple majority. So that may be achieved before the 72-hour deadline.

According to Arthur Staples and Michael Russo, the players can sign and burn a year off their ELC. But they wouldn't be allowed to play.

So to me, it makes no sense to sign them.

Minnesota can sign Kaprizov and Isles can sign Sorokin. In their case, it will make sense.

Because Kaprizov can be signed to a 2-yesr ELC right now. If they sign him next year, he can only be signed to a 1-year ELC. So no matter what, they will have only one year next year.

Sorokin can only sign a 1-year ELC right now. So even if he signs, they will need to re-sign him next year.

So they can sign them and bring them to the bubble to at least practice if they choose to. It changes nothing contractually for them.

Romanov however, if he signs now for this year, he will burn a year only to practice. And then they will only have him for 2 years of ELC games.
