Who's Willie facing in Aeth's bracket? I hear he got a bye to the 3rd round.

Campbell could beat Columbus. No worries.

from the last blog ---

Leafs training camp being held in Buffalo likely points to Toronto not being a Hub city. Makes sense to have it in Edmonton where there are less Covid cases and yahoo’s.

IMO both hub cities will be in the States unless the 14 quarantine is over in Canada unless there's an exception being made.
who knows, perhaps the border will remain closed for the summer.

You make good points. I hope it doesn’t go down like that, but can’t argue against it.

Yes, when he gets traded for the RHD that fixes the blueline.

Bob Mac said it was possible they have the camp in Buffalo this morning. But you know more than him rite?

Go back to reading the Farmers almanac, gramps.

Too be fair, Bobby Mac was only speculating.

So, interesting question, with a lot of grey areas.

First, players do make a bit of money for every round they advance. Back in the day, this used to be a huge incentive, because up until the late 1960s, most of the guys would have summer jobs.

https://thehockeywriters....yer-playoff-compensation/

But here's where it gets a little weirder:

Thanks to the CBA, players are not guaranteed their full salaries. That's the escrow.

So if I'm making 10 million a year, but the NHL only makes 95% of the revenues it projected when setting the salary cap, I only get paid $9.5 million.

So the players are already going to take a huge hit on their salaries this year, as they lost roughly 12.5% of the regular season revenues from tix, TV, beer and hot dogs.

So there is a financial incentive for them to participate in the playoffs, to try to get more of their 2019-20 salaries.

But I've yet to see any kind of guess as to how much that will be. I'm guessing it won't be that significant.
- Atomic Wedgie

Thanks for the response. I thought I remembered hearing that players didn’t receive checks since the stop of play. Shouldn’t the teams have to pay the players regardless? Then they could claw it back via the escrow to make the 50/50 revenue split instead of not paying them in the first place. I knew about the escrow, but totally didn’t factor that in for this.
