I'd be disappointed. I want to watch NHLers.

I see Sushko and Kase were added to taxi squad recently. Does that mean two more players are out?

- Dkos


No, if you don’t count Frost because he is also out injured, the Flyers are missing 5 forwards for COVID protocols. Right now they have 6 forwards up from taxi or Phantoms so I think that makes 13 forwards total. Minimum needed there.

I think one of the leafs better prospects is a kid with the last name Sandin, are you confusing the guy we signed for him?
- ClaudeFather


No just the runout that sandin and dermott may not be happy about their position on the depth chart. Slow day. Just was seeing if anyone would be interested and ideas of ways. Yes sandin imo would cost more.

Of course not, but Covid is a different thing entirely. Almost entire teams are coming down with it and many games are being postponed. Why should an outdoor game of this importance to the league be played under these circumstances?

Entire teams ? Spare me the drama. If it bothers you so much stop paying attention.

I agree that the Devils having 19 players on the list at peak would qualify as almost entire teams...

Loved jagr. Had we been better drafting and the rangers not messed with the lindros trade, we could have had jagr, lindros and foppa. Haha
- Hextall271


Or instead of Ricci as part of the Lindros deal it would have been Jagr & Forsberg, plus the rest of it. Be thankful we didn't draft him, unless you're a true glutton for punishment!

Can anyone clarify the rule with waivers for me, If a team claims a player claimed off waivers they have to be on the teams roster an x amount of days before they can be sent down correct?

Re-infection from the original covid-19 has been rare.

Leafs just blew 5-1 lead to the Sens. Heading to OT assuming no one scores in the last min

EDIT: OTT wins in OT

Bastards robbed me of $1000 on a $5 eight team parlay.

I have never pivoted on a player personally more than Jagr, after his Flyers stint.

Stand-up, nice and generous dude.

Goes to show sports love/hate is razor-thin.

We are never going to be the same society going forward.

See those people in asian countries who have been wearing masks all the time? They're not weird, they're smart.

Iirc no.

If the players' new team wants to send them down, they have to waive the player again.

You may be thinking about the 30 day window teams have after a player clears to reassign then to the minors.

There is no consensus in the community on his point, they just don't know yet.
