2024-25 NHL Thread

Sources told Daily Faceoff the final year of injured goaltender Robin Lehner?s $25 million contract will not count against the Golden Knights? salary cap this season after a settlement was reached between the Golden Knights, NHL and NHL Players? Association. Lehner was in violation of his contract when he failed to report for a mandatory medical exam to open training camp; Lehner previously made the Golden Knights aware he was unable to report for personal reasons.

...

Lehner, 33, is still expected to receive the $4.5 million owed to him this season. Sources indicated the Golden Knights had a strong case to fully terminate the deal, which would result in no pay, but they didn?t want to pursue that path ? as they were only seeking salary cap relief. From the NHLPA perspective, protecting a player?s earnings was of the utmost importance, and the resulting salary cap change is mostly immaterial ? resulting in the agreed upon settlement. His $4.5 million is still expected to count against the players? share of the 50/50 revenue split with owners.

So, wait. The precedent has now been set that if a LTIR guy just doesn't show up for his physical all sides can agree to this instead, right?

I guess so if they have a similar history of medical issues, both physical and mental. Don't have an issue with it seeing they could have just terminated his contract and they rid themselves of the contract.

Is this like MacKinnon vs Carbs or a genuine fear like herman vs toilet snakes?
 
Face Off: Inside the NHL

It?s pretty much what you expect. Better than the All or Nothing Leafs show though I think. Nylander comes across fairly well. As does Pastrnak. I didn?t know their history.

Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

On track to make landfall in Tampa Bay around Thursday but at a slightly diminished level as it starts to widen. Still very not good!

If the eye of the storm passes north of Tampa Bay, the rotation of the wind (counter clockwise) would direct the storm surge right up the bay and into the city centre.

Edit: I?m in this thread because this will be a catastrophic loss of life event due to the lack of social infrastructure and Amalie Arena is likely going to be underwater. The Lightning and their operations have evacuated to Raleigh after cancelling their final preseason game Monday (which was a rescheduled match due to the Helene).

And the Lightning v Hurricanes game at Amalie Arena has indeed been postponed due to lightning and hurricanes.

lol. They got off relatively easy as the Milton pushed south of the bay causing a reverse surge from the most populated areas. Tropicana Field, used as a staging area for field medics and shelter, lost its roof.
 
Yeh, I saw the videos of the Trop. My wife and I took in a game there a few years back. It was certainly a quaint and unique ballpark. I also subsequently learned that the Lightning actually began their life playing in it. That would have been interesting to experience.
 
I'm not usually super big on watching non-Leafs hockey during the regular season but I checked out the Coast to Coast thing amazon is doing on Thursday's where they cover all the games going on and it was actually pretty cool. Leafs generally play a lot on Thursday's so I doubt I'll be watching it regularly but a cool option for when they have that night off.

It’s a shame it’s a midnight thing here cos I actually think it would be a good way to watch. As we discussed a bit I do find it a bit boring sitting down to watch a full game between two teams I’m not really invested in, but I like an idea of what’s going on and what good players are doing so I like the idea of this.

It’s just a shame the NHL doesn’t have something like the NFL’s Sunday where they’ve a chunk of games in the afternoon then the other chunk in the evening.

The NHL doesn't have a chunk in the afternoon on Sunday's because the NFL has a chunk on Sunday afternoons.
