If the players are kept in a bubble they won't be allowed to walk on crowded downtown streets to the arena so they'll be bussed 500 metres in Toronto or 1500 metres in Vancouver; that's not significant.I didn't say they don't have a lot of hotels but they don't have as many in the vicinity of where they will be training and playing
Looks like the league would like to name Toronto as a hub but the initial bid was full of inadequacies and a bubble that was full of holes, so the league is working with them.Columbus is out, that pushes Toronto up, also increases chances of two Canadian hubs
It looks like the NHL is pushing for 2 Canadian city hubs.Columbus is out, that pushes Toronto up, also increases chances of two Canadian hubs
Nope. Too expensive.can we have 3 hubs ?
This, I think, is very bad news for TML fans. Something's gonna have to give somewhere...In addition the league announced today the salary cap could remain at $81.5 million for the next 3 seasons.
Dubas will be pleased; the only other possibility is that the salary cap would have gone down. 40% of league revenue is through gate receipts so what’ll give is the players percentage of escrow. The players will be the unhappy ones.This, I think, is very bad news for TML fans. Something's gonna have to give somewhere...
I dunno. I suspect he was counting on it going up to create room to maneuver a bit. He won't be able to keep everyone, sign anyone new, and stay both under the cap and advance their chances of winning a cup too. Some popular face(s) may need to be shipped out.Dubas will be pleased; the only other possibility is that the salary cap would have gone down. 40% of league revenue is through gate receipts so what’ll give is the players percentage of escrow.

Andersen and Hyman become UFA in 2021.I dunno. I suspect he was counting on it going up to create room to maneuver a bit. He won't be able to keep everyone, sign anyone new, and stay both under the cap and advance their chances of winning a cup too. Some popular face(s) may need to be shipped out.
Excellent point.... (Dubas has a history of paying RFA's like UFA's.)
I was agreeing with John Wick and chuckertmg. Two gentlemen who actually know hockey. As usual, your post adds no value to the conversation.Excellent point.
I'm glad someone brought this up.
No one has ever mentioned that before, on TERB.
Technically it's the play-in round, not the first round of the playoffs.Believe it or not a placeholder team has won the draft lottery. That means the 8 teams that get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs will each get a 12.5 % chance of winning the first pick.
How the bottom teams in the league agreed to this is beyond me. This is just ridiculous.Believe it or not a placeholder team has won the draft lottery. That means the 8 teams that get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs will each get a 12.5 % chance of winning the first pick.
