NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

Can anyone even get on fantrax?

Yes.

Also, we are now under the 20-21 season.

Yeah, sorry...I renewed the league last week. Do all your new trades on that site and I've updated the forum link as well.

Reseeding after the qualification round was the only idea that made sense...good on the league and players to figure that out. And for the traditionalists, they get a cookie by them sticking to best-of-7 series when they get it down to 16 teams.

[kyuss]

they got both things right.

Interesting...Roman Polak has already signed a contract for next year with the Czech league when he's still got responsibility left with the Stars.

Obviously it's not weird for a player to leave the NHL for Europe but I'm wondering why this can happen before July 1 or whenever contracts officially expire. I haven't seen how contracts are treated past July 1.

Quote from Polak - "I am already determined to stay at home ... If I really had to finish the NHL, I would go. But I will do everything to make it unnecessary. I will definitely be here next season. "

Sounds like competitive hockey begins again July 30th with the play-in series.

We'll see... With the current outbreak, I still have doubts it happens at all. Are the players going to wear masks or any sort of protection?

If they play, we'll end up seeing something like this:

For sure happy to be up here

Ya not getting my hopes up

[Da_Hawks]

I'm surprised they aren't making the players wear the full clear visors/face shields to provide some sort of barrier.

[kyuss]

There is no need for that when only Covid-free players will be allowed to play

Don't know much about it, but is there a gap in time between when you test positive and when you're contagious? Are those two times the same?

I know some tests have false negatives.

[kyuss]

players will be tested multiple times... if they test negatives all the times once they are already in the hub 'bubble' then there is basically no risk

Disagree, testing is not good enough for that. Look at what is happening on PGA.
