It was one of those things where the team wasn't doing well so they sent their back up to the minors

Claude still doesn't understand that letting the young guys play is beneficial

Evans will have a good shot at center of the 4th line next year

The unfortunate thing about Evans is, if he gets a certain amount of NHL games in this year & next, I believe he will need to be protected for expansion, will be his 3rd year pro next season, no?

4 points in 2 games. Better late than never to figure out developing him to be his best finished product as the ideal outcome. Frankly good on the kid

It reads like Evans would need 40 NHL games next year to be available.

In addition, all NHL teams must meet the following minimum requirements regarding players exposed for selection in the draft:

* One defenseman who is a) under contract in 2021-22 and b) played in at least 40 NHL games the prior season or played in at least 70 NHL games in the prior two seasons.

* Two forwards who are a) under contract in 2021-22 and b) played at least 40 NHL games the prior season or played in at least 70 NHL games in the prior two seasons.

* One goalie who is under contract in 2021-22 or will be a restricted free agent at the end of his current contract immediately prior to 2021-22. If a team elects to make a restricted free agent goalie available to meet this requirement, that goalie must have received his qualifying offer prior to the submission of the team's protected list.

Assuming he hits 40 NHL games next year I believe so but I'm ignorant as (frank) about this at this stage

No, no I think that's absolutely right... it would be a real shame to lose a Lehkonen or Evans to Seattle

But then again Danault, Gallagher & Armia won't need protection, I don't think

Or Petry & Tatar actually, if they in fact decide to keep them around

So I guess they'll be giving Seattle the exact same leverage as Vegas had?

Well, they'll have to lose someone...can't protect them all.

Wow, Leafs just gave away two 3rd round picks. Guess they didn't listen to

Hearing his comments after he was sent down, and seeing him yesterday, it's once again pretty crazy how a little confidence coming from the coaching staff can change everything for a player.

Sure it's only two games, but KK finally gets to play hockey and be relied upon by his coach. It's great.
