I believe this is only for American-based NHL teams, so European players or any free agents would still need the 14.So I guess the 7 day quarantine applies to euro players as well? or just traded players that are a part of NHL protocals? cuz if thats the case, I guess SDA will be playing very soon ya?
Ya I figured as much. It would be league specific. NHL has very strict protocol, not sure the KHL does lolI believe this is only for American-based NHL teams, so European players or any free agents would still need the 14.
Makes sense though. This is a major exception, so you want to make it a very narrow window - only teams and players who have already been following the specific NHL protocol.
Thought his season was over?
Thought his season was over?
Couldn't have said it better myselfAs long as he's getting big minutes that's about as much as we could possibly want right now. Just play.
A decision for next year can be made in the off season.
where is a top 10 prospect list for leafs?
It really is amazing how this list, and the quality of our prospect pool, has been transformed through the last 2 drafts. That's how you remain competitive over time, and can afford to pay big bucks to our top 4. Great job done by Dubas and the scouting staff.tl:dr: In no particular order

It is something like this:
Oh yeah, if you see ppg, it means point per game.
Mix and Match:
Robertson, Sandin, Liljegren, Amirov - Tier 1
Notes: Liljegren is a topic of hot debate. I personally am not sold on amirov yet (sandin dominated wjc and has scored at every level, liljegren has dominated ahl, and robertson just works really hard/has late birthday/dominated ohl in his +1) so if you put amirov down a tier, I don't care.
Tier 2 is like Topi Niemela who dominated wjc and Roni Hirvonen who is doing pretty well for a 19 year old in the liiga despite what the analytics say about him...and he was close to ppg at wjc.
Tier 3 is where the funny s*** is. This is where everyone will have a different list for the last 4 prospects. I personally have Dmitri Ovchinnikov ranked really high. Veeti Miettinen has that nhl caliber shot and he was close to ppg in the ncaa in his first year (he could have been ppg if he was given first pp duties in his first ten games). Many have abramov and abbruzzese to fill out last two, but I need to see more abramov more. For now, I have kral and koster as they are much safer. Filip hallander has driven play in the shl, but hasn't scored. Only reason he's not in my top ten is that I haven't seen him play yet.
NOTE:
I don't have aktyamov the russian goalie in my list. This is because I don't know how to evaluate goaltending, but a lot of people here seem high on him.
