FYI from TSN’s Frank Seravalli:
#NHL players will be paid next week for the first time since April. All players who have a contract for 2020-21 season – and were frozen on roster at the pause – will be paid 8.1% of their ’21 salary by Oct. 31.— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) October 22, 2020
Goes without saying, but this also means that owners are writing these cheques without meaningful revenue incoming since mid-March. Not a pretty cash flow situation for the bulk of #NHL franchises.

Austria’s ICE Hockey League, where Michael Rasmussen (Graz99ers) and Jesper Eliasson (Red Bull Salzburg) play, has rescheduled this weekend’s games due to coronavirus cases on teams. This marks the second league to postpone games, with the Czech Extraliga (Filip Hronek on HK Mountfield and Filip Zadina on Ocelari Trinec) postponing games earlier this month due to similar issues.
In fact, Hronek and HK Mountfield have been training in Germany because of the Czech Republic’s coronavirus restrictions.
The #ICE has taken further medical precautionary measures for the upcoming weekend. Due to Covid-19 all games originally scheduled for this weekend were postponed. With @ecrbs ? @BlackWings1992 one game has been rescheduled for Friday, October 23rd.#UnitedByPassion pic.twitter.com/dh6ohXf45i— bet-at-home ICE Hockey League (@betathomeICE) October 22, 2020
The Free Press’s Helene St. James appeared on the “Stoney and Jansen Show With Heather” on 97.1 the Ticket this morning, and here’s the 13-minute interview. St. James discusses her book: “Big 50: Detroit Red Wings” and discusses the Wings’ free agency moves:
According to the Bangor Daily News’s Larry Mahoney, Mark Howe’s son Nolan is coaching the Lewiston (Maine) Nordiques of the North American Hockey League, a developmental league on or near par with the USHL.
This isn’t big news, but it’s good to know that a member of the Howe family is “in the game.”
TV4.se’s Niklas Wikegard will premiere a new episode of his sports show, “Wikegard vs.,” today, and it will involve Niklas and Staffan Kronwall, and Aftonbladet’s Mattias Karlsson has posted some of the highlights of said interview today. What follows is roughly translated from Swedish:
Continue reading Roughly translated: Niklas and Staffan Kronwall talk about player responsibility in the SHLThe Athletic’s Corey Pronman posted a list of his top 155 players under the age of 23, and Lucas Raymond ranks 17th, with Moritz Seider coming in at 38, Filip Hronek ranked 61st and Filip Zadina ranked 71st:
17. Lucas Raymond, LW, Detroit
March 28, 2002 | 5-foot-10 | 170 pounds
Tier: Elite/high-end bubble
Skating: 55
Puck Skills: 70
Physical Game: 35
Hockey Sense: 65Raymond has incredible talent and hockey sense. With the puck on his stick he’s incredibly dangerous. His hands are elite and his ability to beat defenders one-on-one clean in ways unlike other players can create a lot of highlight reel moments. He will be a true PP1 quarterback in the NHL because of the unique plays he can make. He has a unique way of navigating with the puck in the offensive zone, showing the patience and vision of a top NHL playmaker in how he picks apart defenses and find seams. Raymond isn’t the biggest guy and isn’t a guy you will tab to kill penalties, but he competes well and gets to the net. While he’s more of a passer, he does have a good shot when he looks to shoot. My one concern is his just average foot speed, particularly as a 5-foot-10 forward. He has good edgework and a powerful first step, with a wide stance he employs when trying to protect pucks, but lacks an NHL caliber separation gear.

The Athletic’s Max Bultman Tweeted this post from Dobber Prospects’ Jokke Nevalainen this morning:
The Red Wings have recalled Jared McIsaac back to Detroit to take care of his injury. He won’t be returning to #Liiga team HPK anymore this season. https://t.co/De7FtZHOqE
— Jokke Nevalainen (@JokkeNevalainen) October 22, 2020
According to HPK.fi, Jared McIsaac is indeed headed back to Detroit to treat an injury (?) and he won’t return to Haameenlinna, Finland this season.
Update:
Since a couple of people have asked about it: to my knowledge, it wasn’t announced what type of injury McIsaac suffered, only that he would miss 2 weeks with it but obviously something changed since then.
He played just 34 seconds in the game where it happened.— Jokke Nevalainen (@JokkeNevalainen) October 22, 2020
