From Elliot Friedman on Twitter:

Interesting — NHL agent Kurt Overhardt advocates for creation of an “Exceptional” player to ease salary-cap concerns when NHL resumes. Teams using it could have to pay a luxury tax to those who don’t.


That’d be alright, eh? Tilt the tables back in the Leafs favour a bit. (frank) playing fair, it doesn’t work.

Saw that yesterday, doesnt sound like it would get approved by nhl side

It’s hard to imagine NHL commissioner Gary Bettman going for this. At all. Especially considering the lengths the league has gone through in his tenure to establish a cap system and a 50/50 revenue split with the players. The owners like this system. They like the parity.

I hadn’t even finished reading the highlights of this proposal to one NHL general manager when he shot it down.

“We have a system. … Anything that gives the players more than 50 percent is a nonstarter. There’s no owner that would want this,” he said. “Gary won’t even listen.”

You’d probably get 30 similar responses from the other GMs, and Overhardt anticipates this pushback. This would certainly qualify under what the league might call “seepage” – money that falls outside the hard cap. They’ve worked hard to eliminate seepage – like adjusting rules to set limits on how much money can be stashed in the AHL.

What about smell? Can you smell those cookies cooking? Perhaps some testing is needed for that damn virus.

In an off year for the Leafs after last season Tavares B. More expected from him.

AM A
Willie B+

- Nighthawk


Tavares had a broken hand and still was on pace for low to mid 30's in goals. He gets an A.

I completely agree that they’re not going to do anything that gives the players a bigger share. This is survival time for a bunch of franchise. I do think think that if they want to save some of the weaker teams those teams can’t insist on protecting parity at all costs. MLSE and others are not just going to write a bigger cheque and say happy to have you in the league.

So they need a plan that allows overall player salaries to come down while minimizing the reduction in the total amount of money going to players. I still think the best way to do that is set an overall spending level for the league but allow more flexibility between teams in the form of a wider gap between floor and ceiling.

I don't know exactly what 2000 a month gets you these days but if you're living anywhere close to a big city in Canada then it ain't much.

Personal grooming products will be the next big thing. Think about all those barbers and hair salons currently out of work. Check out this new product, supposed to replace a hot towel shave - heated razor.

great at times, average some times and not very good some games, B+ is a generous grade for someone who is expected to lead the team and show consistency.
