It appears there are rules that have impacted the Flames groups. Why are these secret?
Are the Flames/NHL prepared to change the rules (like CDC , WHO, Canadian public health experts) ?
Otherwise it would be pretty simple to say that Gaudreau was in contact with someone who tested positive and has 3 negative tests and needs 4 negative tests over 4 days or whatever the rules state?
This secrecy makes the whole process bush league and suspect.
Simple statement of which players are missing practice with non-COVID issues should be mandatory.

I think the return to play rules expressly forbid teams from revealing covid diagnoses.
As I understand it, this is also the reason Edmonton is a hub and not Vancouver because the BC government wanted the NHL to be forthcoming with covid cases
