Mikkel Boedker Signs In NLA

May 19, 2020 at 10:18 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 5 Comments

Though the Ottawa Senators technically haven’t been eliminated from play in 2019-20 yet, Mikkel Boedker has already planned the next step of his hockey career. The veteran forward has signed a two-year contract with HC Lugano in the Swiss NLA that will begin whenever the Senators season is officially over.

Boedker, 30, is in the last season of a four-year, $16MM deal signed with the San Jose Sharks in 2016. The speedy winger was originally selected eighth overall by the Arizona Coyotes in 2008, and though he does have some success at the NHL level he never became that dominant offensive presence that many believed he could be.

Through 709 NHL contests, Boedker scored 118 goals and 327 points, only making the playoffs on a handful of occasions. Senators fans will likely only remember him as part of a frustrating sequence of trades that ended up with Mike Hoffman heading to a division rival, given he played just 91 games for the team over the last two seasons.

A two-year deal at this point may mean Boedker’s NHL journey is over, but it certainly doesn’t mean he will disappear from the hockey consciousness. One of the best players in the world from Denmark, he has competed at six World Championships, Olympic qualifiers, and a World Cup for his country.

    From CTV News Canada:12:00 pm: An agreement has been reached between Canada and the United States to keep the border closed to all non-essential travel for another month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced, calling it the “right thing” to do. He is cautioning that it could be months still before non-essential travel is allowed.

      I believe work visas are exempt, which is what players have. (I could be mistaken though)

      even if it is, the laws in Canada require those coming into Canada to self quarantine for 14 days. makes playing a us team almost impossible. it’s why the league is looking at specific cities. unlike baseball where it would only impact the blue jays, this law could effect a quarter of the playoff teams in a 16-20 team playoff.

      Makes sense.

      Does the current league self quarantine count though?

      But, that’s probably why word came out yesterday that Vegas and Columbus were front runners. May be easier to get players out of Canada then in. (Just speculating)
