Says the guy who for the past year has proudly been anti-mask and flouted the social distancing/gathering rules. Awesome.

So your arguments are... That covid is just the flu and nothing serious so we don't need all the restrictions or masks...
Combined with, the virus so contagious and serious that masks and restrictive measures don't effectively work anyway so they are nothing more than a way for people to show that they are virtuous.

Awesome. .

Hi RC!!

Shows how hard it is this year to get a 1st round pick. Isles got those two for pretty cheap.

Lou is a sharp GM.

We'll see how this works out?

As I mentioned in my pregame segment on
@NHLonNBCSports
, the NHL is targeting the end of next week for the Vancouver Canucks to return to game action. Still a fluid situation.
- VanHockeyGuy

my only question is: does vegas pull canuck games from betting or do they stack the odds heavily?

It is surprising. Related (?) I thought they would get some cap cushion from having all the players out, but capfriendly shows them with $0 space.

Anyone know how players being on COVID protocol impacts cap hit and if the Canucks are getting relief?
- SlightlyOffside

This explains it, also explains why Baertschi is not being recalled. Via The Athletic:

The club still has to be mindful of managing the salary cap and their NHL roster, even with 14 players and multiple taxi-squad players non-rostered as part of the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol. Players on the NHL protocol remain on the cap, so the club will need to use the COVID-19 exemption rule, which permits teams to add players to their roster in a salary cap neutral way, so long as that player is below $1 million in salary, to flesh out their roster in the days and weeks ahead.

A team source indicated to The Athletic on Saturday that the club will likely wait a day or two before calling up additional players from their American League affiliate club the Utica Comets, awaiting further guidance from the league on the length of the shutdown that the team is facing.

Additional reinforcements may be added at that juncture, although there aren’t too many credible NHL-level call-ups with the Comets as it stands. And one of the most notable, Sven Baertschi, isn’t eligible to recalled under the COVID-19 exemption rules since his cap hit exceeds $1 million.

I imagine we see a ton of retained salary on many of the upcoming trades

I agree to that.

Province of Ontario 3rd state of emergency, 4 week stay at home order

I saw Nylander is in isolation due to exposure to covid.
- NorthNuck

Nylander was a close contact, not yet a positive test.

Ont Gov’t is promising 40% of adults will be vaccinated (first dose) by end of the 4 weeks. Huge progress, if achieved.

I use bet365, usually have some action going to keep games interesting. I'll keep you posted if there's good value out there.

It was a 93mph slap shot...sheeesh

When the Bauer reps were here for demo days on the ice and we had the radar gun on the ice it was my buddy that had the 93mph wrister...insane

Why is it so bad? I get he sucks but that doesn’t explain the relationship as lots of Canuck players suck. I don’t get it.

My guess, I think Benning is a horrible communicator. But I don’t know...

lol very true. When I first started betting horses I hit a few for $6600 bucks and figured man this is easy could quit my job...then the emotions take over...

How's the off season going...? Any word on training camp battles?

Good thing they got Beags and Ferland on Career ending LTIR to afford Pearson for Bo.

I usually do 2 or 3 game parlays, mix sporting events according to value. Typically stay away from Canucks and Seahawks games.

Opens up huge opportunity for more scraps in the bottom 6 too. Looking good.

Over 4000 covid deaths in Brazil today.

Posted about this and everything else coming to light last week. P1 will be a real issue for BC. The vaccine roll out will be tough to combat this monster. Forget about fans in the stands even into 2022. So guess no pressure for Canuck success.

I'm not a huge Harman fan, but he has a point.

Richard Panik is 30, a mid-6 F (0.37 P/GP last 3 seasons) making $2.75M for the next two years

Pearson's soon to be 29 with similar 0.39 P/GP after deducting empty net points.

Both have declined this year.

Panik getting placed on waivers should be a warning for the #Canucks

- LordHumungous

That's why I don't bet Canucks unless it's to win but this season is done, either literally or metaphorically. I'll take value if it's there betting wise.

This might be the only way I truly pay attention to the playoffs. I've become largely apathetic to this season.

Today I took EDM (win) and TOR. 2 game parlay at 3.14 odds X my bet $10. Keeps it interesting.

Don't mind if they sign Veasy and Gaudette. As for character vets seems they are real cheap now around $1M.

So maybe they add 1 to replace bloated contracts. Perhaps find another LTIR retiring excuse for Rouse and LE too. Maybe Covid effect ...? Like feeling lethargic can't be medically challenged now.
