Romanov can't play in the playoffs

I suppose you are a habs fan...

mete is injured?

Yeah, kinda like this lineup. I think I'd put Weise on the 4th. He's got the CH tattooed on his balls.

Also, we have no chance! lol

Hoping that the teams that get booted early get their lottery pick back... hahaha

yup mete hurt
somethinged his ankle

so he won't play in the playoffs if the format stays

then how come Charlie McAvoy or Cale Makar were able to begin their NHL career in the playoffs?

Romanov probably won’t be able to play in the playoffs. Also assuming it’s just an ordinary broken ankle, Mete will be healthy, since he will have had 5 months to heal.

I don’t know. Also Nikita Gusev. It makes no sense why the NHL wouldn’t allow them to play.

I have no clue, maybe they sign him before the playoffs idk

I wonder if the habs would sign Caufield, even just to be a powerplay specialist for the playoffs.

I know they already said they preferred he stay in college for another year, but they also said they would sign him to play in Laval if he preferred. Additionally, the college season may not even start on time and you'd think Caufield would have better access to ice / training facilities if he was with an NHL organization.

Next year he could start in Laval with KK, that wouldn't be a bad alternative to staying in college.

Edit: If Laval is not best he could also just play in the CHL. I forget which team owns his rights but that's also another option.

IMO that is only a possibility if the NCAA outright cancels its season. Otherwise it makes no sense for Caufield to leave Wisconsin.

Why can’t he? If you mean his contract, he signed and if this season continues his deal will start for the remainder of this season

If he signs before the playoffs start he misses the cutoff date for eligibility or something, but if he signs in the playoffs he's fine
