He'll get there is Green uses him properly. Keep the 649 line together and roll with it. If he bounces Boeser up and down the lineup he will struggle.
- LordHumungous

There's some truth in that, but also that Boeser hasn't look dangerous this last year like he did in his first and a bit. He's not shooting well, if at all sometimes.

Part of it may be deployment, part of it may just be him.

sometimes life ain't so simple, jack!

NHL News: Speculation On The 2020-21 Season Is Just Speculation At This Point

There has been plenty of speculation about next season - all-Canadian division, February 1st start date, etc. - but at this point, it's just speculation.

Greg Wyshynski of ESPN: Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley said on KSHP radio said next season could have “48 or 56 games” and next season relies on fans in the stands as the NHL is such a gate driven league.

“Who knows if we’re going to be playing? If we aren’t playing in front of fans, a lot of teams can’t make it. That’s including us, to make a serious financial commitment to fund the team without playing in front of fans,” said Foley, a member of the NHL Board of Governors. “I don’t believe Gary Bettman is going to have us fly all around and play in empty arenas.”

The NHL will try to get in a season before the Summer Olympics get underway, so teams could play four, maybe five games a week according to Foley.

Foley adds that teams need 40 to 50 percent capacity, and that there could be an all-Canadian division as the U.S./Canada border may not be open.

TSN: Darren Dreger on Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley talking about an all-Canadian division next season. It’s not a done deal but it could be a possibility.


“But there also has been no decisions made specific to the start of the 2020-21 season. But that’s a scenario that has to be discussed, and I’m sure will be negotiated between the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players’ Association as to whether or not it’s the right fit or not.

Now we know that the NHL is in constant communication with the Canadian government, the borders are still closed. And that is the primary reason that Bill Foley would make such a comment, but I also had an owner suggest that there’s no guarantee that there is a 2020-21 season so it seems like owner opinion is similar to all of our opinions – all over the map.”

Jason Gregor: “A Canadian division and three American divisions. It isn’t the NHL’s first choice, but it would be a great option. You could even have unique names for one year. I’d love to see it. Reminds me of 80s with the Adam, Norris, Patrick and Smythe divisions.”

David Pagnotta: Foley was on Sportsbook Radio yesterday revealed some of the options the NHL could be looking at, include a Canadian Division, a 60 game season and a February 1st start.

A high up NHL source said they are just options and nothing has been formalized.

No decisions on next season are expected this month as they continue to monitor the situation and consider all options.

The season isn’t expected to start with full fans, but there could be a gradual increase as the season progresses.


If the NHL wants a full 82 game schedule, they’d have to take travel into consideration and have more back-to-backs.

Multiple start dates have been talked about. January 1st is the goal, but January 15th or February 1st could end up being options.

Maybe Lordy could answer this as he is a rink guy, but I believe the rink operator/Zamboni driver, has an obligation to public safety, the propanetanks could explode.
Also, most rinks use ammonia for freezing ice and there are some legal obligations that go along with that

maybe the zamboni driver was listening to some heavy metal like chicago or the alan parsons project and thought the fire was part of a pyrotechnics show?

Super.

Thinking LW Hoffman C Horvat RW Boeser would be a good second line, I wonder if GMJB can trade Pearson and Sutter as a package to free up the cap space?

Hoffman probably wants TT+ $, that's why he's not signed. Longshot at a 1-2 year deal.

There's the enthusiasm i was looking for!

gotta wait it out and see the asks drop.

i wonder how many teams (especially the smaller market clubs) will wait until there's more certainty about next season before finalizing rosters.

does that matter? salaries aren't paid until games are played (obviously) so signing players now shouldn't matter. but as a reality, could the uncertainty cause teams to wait?

That’s why Benning needs to trade Pearson and Sutter

It's not only about the ask's, term is a factor as well. You're not going to get Hoffman for less than 5M on a short term deal, something needs to give if we did.

Pettersson been demoted to the 3rd line

Pearson's value is at a peak right now, 3750.000 is reasonable for a team to take on. Then you're creating another void in the lineup though.
