Morning Notes: HHOF, Wild, Handemark

August 10, 2020 at 10:58 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

The Hockey Hall of Fame has postponed its 2020 induction that was originally scheduled for November 16 in Toronto because of the ongoing COVID-19 protocols. The event will be rescheduled at some point, though it is unclear exactly when it can happen. Chairman Lanny McDonald released a statement:

While it’s possible the class of 2020 could be inducted on alternative dates during the modified 2020-21 NHL season, the most likely scenario is to postpone to November 2021, either by waiving the 2021 elections or in combination with the 2021 induction class involving adjusted category limits.

This year’s class includes Marian Hossa, Jarome Iginla, Kevin Lowe, Kim St-Pierre, Doug Wilson and Ken Holland. The board decided against holding the event virtually.

  • The Minnesota Wild will be watching the draft lottery tonight closely as they have a 12.5% chance of landing the first-overall pick, but there is plenty of other work to do for GM Bill Guerin. The executive held media availability today with reporters including Michael Russo of The Athletic, giving his thoughts on many subjects including Kirill Kaprizov’s imminent arrival (he will land in Minnesota today) and the future of captain Mikko Koivu. Guerin also announced that though assistant coaches Bob Woods and Darby Hendrickson will return, the team has parted ways with Bob Mason, Minnesota’s goaltending coach for the past 18 years.
  • Fredrik Handemark signed a one-year entry-level contract with the San Jose Sharks just a few months ago, but he’ll be staying in Sweden for a little while longer. The 26-year old forward will play with the Malmo Redhawks of the SHL for the start of the year until NHL training camps open at some point in November. Handemark had 38 points in 52 games for Malmo last season.

    it would be a huge mistake to cancel the 2021 elections simply to give the 2020 class their own ceremony.

    I think the Hall should just go with with virtual induction, as it is becoming more necessary for bigger gatherings, at least until a guaranteed successful vaccine magically appears. I appreciate the importance of the in-person ceremony, but we’re in uncharted territory here.

    Guerin should have just started from square one with an entire new staff. Holdovers from the previous regimes need to be replaced for a complete fresh start. Why they signed Evason I really don’t know.

    So events scheduled for November are being cancelled? Gotta keep the fear going.
