im pretty sure thats the plan cause realistically whose gonna take him. Heck if there is no AHL season the NHL may allow a taxi squad like with the playoffs. But they got till January to figure that out.
I believe they already have a start date.
But if they canceled it, I think things would be a mess.
You already seeing it hit the CHL. Games are being paused for some teams. Two teams have a combined 26 cases.
But thing is these guys have to play to improve. If they don't, things are a mess. I don't think that works for anyone. Players, Clubs, etc...
Might be seeing minor league games right after the pro games. Put the prospects etc... out on the ice after the pro teams.
All in one bubble. End up with some funky CHL/AHL combo teams playing each other.
Its a good move by the Leafs, but Im surprised Dell didnt get a better offer? either more money- or the opportunity to actually play games in the NHL. Hell he is way better than Domingue, better than Smith in Edmonton- and half the money!

potentially yeah. Rn the NHL is keeping all options open and may extend playoff rules for the cap but limit the Taxi squad to 10 players. We got till January so lets see.
One way deal so he’d have to clear waivers before going to marlies
You still have to clear waivers on a two-way deal once you reach a certain number of pro seasons. One/Two-way has nothing to do with waivers, just compensation based on where you play.
Why on earth wouldn’t Edmonton or any other team in need of a backup do this? He’s better than Smith, and any other goalie on the market. Well hopefully for Dell’s sake he gets claimed off waivers at the start of the season.

The waiver rules might be different this year because they're aiming for a condensed 82 game season.
Good signing for the Leafs but I can't believe somebody else wasn't willing to give him this deal. I can think of 3 or 4 teams off the top of my head that could use him more than Toronto
Typical....the DemoRats have done nothing but reak havoc on the world for the past 4 years since they lost 2016. covid19 is a 'plan'demic, man made creation, purposely set free. 100% true.

100% true? Proven by who? You? Get outta here with that crap.
Doesn't mean that the PA will abandon collectively bargained player protections.
PA won't abandon anything collectively bargained but the pandemic has forced businesses of all types to change and sports is not different from that.
The league and PA will figure out rules for a taxi sqaud just like they did for these playoffs except the the difference this time is more games will be played (assuming a season gets underway at some point) than the play-ins and playoffs combined from this past season.

I'm sure that's true. However, the passing of players between the roster and non-roster will still be subjected to waivers. Players want to stay in the NHL and play. If they're not being given a chance on the 23-man roster and are taken off the active roster via the "taxi squad" then they'll need to clear waivers so that they'll be given a chance to stay on the active roster of some NHL team.
