Snapshots: League Timeline, 2021 Draft, Bouwmeester

March 31, 2020 at 4:00 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 9 Comments

UPDATE 4:45pm: The Toronto mayor’s office clarified the ban to TSN radio, indicating that it does not include sporting events, only “city events and event permits.”

4:00pm: As mentioned in the earlier story about the NHL extending their period of self-isolation for players and team staff, even April 15th—the new end date the league announced—seems very aggressive given the much longer bans that states, provinces, and cities have already instituted. This afternoon Toronto, one of the league’s biggest markets,  announced a ban on all public events through June 30th. That would seemingly include playoff hockey games, making it quite difficult to resume any action that includes the Maple Leafs in the next three months.

While there could be ways around a ban like this for regular season games—neutral venue sites could potentially be used—it’s hard to see a world where the Maple Leafs would be forced to play playoff contests somewhere else. Revenue from the playoffs in the league’s big markets is crucial, especially so in a season cut short. At this point, fans can only wait and see what happens, but the NHL season is just getting further and further away.

  • Another major market that has already lost an NHL event is Montreal, where the Canadiens were stripped of the 2020 Entry Draft—or at least the full scale of it. Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports that Montreal can expect to have a full draft either in 2021 or 2022, though there is another interesting option for next year. LeBrun tweets that the new Seattle franchise has shown interest in trying to bring the entry draft in next season to pair with the expansion draft, though it isn’t clear if it will be feasible at this point.
  • Among all the disruptions and distractions, it’s sometimes hard to find any good news these days. Alex Pietrangelo of the St. Louis Blues gave us some of that today, when he told reporters including Dan Rosen of NHL.com that teammate Jay Bouwmeester is doing well in his recovery from a cardiac episode he suffered in February. The Blues captain noted that teammates have checked in on Bouwmeester and that he has seen him walking about their shared neighborhood recently.

    There is zero % chance of finishing the regular season, and the cup playoffs are soon to be out of reach as well.

      @shiz1156 – Under most other circumstances, I’d say that constitutes a “Captain Buzzkill” statement, but not in today’s world, at the moment. It is looking more grim, by the day, without a doubt…

      I’m from Boston, and it’s a damm shame, Z deserves one more crack at it. Maybe they would have got there, maybe not but it’s looking like we might not get a chance. Shame.

      @shiz1156 – While I’m not from Boston, I was there on business in ’88. I’ve always been a fan of big #33, affectionately referred to (by me) as “The Stick-Wielding Giraffe.” He’s never ceased to amaze and I imagine we both would like to see him lace ’em up for one more year. And this year’s B’s have been on a mission, much like Tampa was last year, but with a different flavor. I personally feel Butch is underrated as bench boss and doesn’t get anywhere near enough credit for his part in the team’s success. Of all of the teams in a playoff spot, I thought BOS was one of the favorites with very few, if any, weaknesses. Now, it’s looking like the 2019-2020 season will be remembered as the season of “What-Ifs”…
