It's a tournament. If they start, it will be 5 months since the shut down. They will be starting a new season. It's a joke, just cancel and prepare for a season with no fans.

NHL analyst Kevin Bieksa said some players are still skeptical about Phase 3 that is supposed to open on July 10th.

“A lot of friends that I have and a lot of people that I’ve talked to that are going to be playing, they still don’t have their equipment, they still haven’t skated, they’re still very skeptical,” Bieksa told Sportsnet 650 on Monday. “They haven’t been told anything by their team, so I’m skeptical. I obviously want hockey back. I’d love to cover some games and watch it on TV and get everything back to normal but I wouldn’t jump the gun if I were the fans. I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much yet.”

Bieksa adds that there is still so much for the sides to figure out with protocol and HRR. Players don’t normally get paid for the playoffs.

“Well there’s no money, so you’re telling me players are going to come back, leave their families, sacrifice now and get no money for it? Like, how’s that going to work? So, that’s a pretty big negotiation right there that hasn’t even been discussed yet.”

Time for someone to poach Jack Eichel.

The fact that so many of you guys think this is possible is hilarious. He will eventually ask to be moved, but not for a long while. Not bad to have a 1c and 1d that are both studs to build around, but i have to agree going with a rookie GM at this point seems stupid.

Every player has the right to say no I am not coming back it is unsafe.

Every owner also has the right to remind them not much will change for the start of the 2021 season unless there is a proven vaccine. They can revisit this again in 2022 and then discuss the escrow of how much they have lost.

Just the fact he is moving and can be had is laughable. Toffoli to sabres, 7milx5 book it.

Oh those universal statements! Where’s minivan and his notepad?

Eichel might be the best two-way center in hockey.

Dahlin is a top 10 right now. Period.

They both(and most seem to) Love Krueger.

This is the right move for that team. They need a center really bad, but were otherwise not actually that far off this year. I think alot of players could be compelled to join those two young guys/krueger.

Well at least if there is not a season we won't need to worry about Toffoli signing in Buffalo

Buffalo have 33 mil in cap space but need to sign Reinhart Montour and that will bring them up to 12 players they will then have 20 mil left to sign 11 players including a goalie.

Jake and Demko for Samuelsson and Cozens

Skinner had 2 goals in his last 24 games . 9 Mil for 14 G 23 pts. That is Erikssone-esque on steroids.
