15Around the NHL
WordsOfWisdom - PostedWe know the plane is going to land in LA in one more hour. It's not pretend. Statistically speaking, there's a flight from New York to LA every single day. Every single day it gets there. Could it potentially not make it? Sure. But it's statistically unlikely. Just as it's unlikely that Couturier would have finished the season not scoring another goal or assist in the final dozen games and ridiculously unlikely that he would have scored 60. Probability is about what is -

WordsOfWisdom - PostedTrue but if they're not playing the games at all then they don't have to pay the players salaries. The contracts would be considered "frustrated" (the actual legal term for it) and would be dissolved. (I'll try to avoid getting into contract law because law is so boring lol.) If the players are on the ice playing games then the teams are contractually obligated to pay them the indicated salary. The teams can't say: "well we have less fans so take less money". That's not how contra -

OccamsRazor - Posted10% is better than 0%. And it isn't all about the gate sales at this moment if i remember correctly in the contract which they signed with the network if for whatever reason they can't/don't play a season they will owe the networks a free season at no cost. So i can't see that happening. -

Gnarkill - PostedSeeing all those names on 1 year deals come in now it does strike me as a surprise that Anas wasn't signed to a 1 year deal too. Unless there was something we don't know about behind the scenes maybe he wanted more money, more term or an actual NHL shot and the Wild wasn't willing. The big question I have now after the latest moves is why sign Rau and Cramarossa? there has to be more to the Anas thing than we all see cause it would make more sense to keep him in one of those spots if it was betw -

WordsOfWisdom - PostedWhen I look at the options, nothing seems to be workable. Consider: Letting fans into arenas with strict social distancing rules means stadiums/arenas at 10% or less capacity. Teams wouldn't make any money under that scenario. IF they went that route it would mean players would have to accept a salary 1/10th their current salary or it's a total bust. Make all games a televised event only with no live audience and charge PPV rates for games. That might work in the short term, -

Villette/Lavaux - PostedI'm on the cautiously optimistic side: Let's see the current situation, the second wave is hitting everyone at different levels but positivity rates (a better indicator because it takes into account both population and test performed using statistical survey analysis tools) still remain at lower levels and we are better prepared for that. No government can afford another strict and integral lockdown for more than two months. We are seeing partial shutdowns and curfews but only in a l -
