Does anyone opt out of returning?

Grain of salt as Seravalli is a bit of a shock merchant.

Friday Five: Lingering NHL questions to ponder

4. How many players will opt-out of the 24-team tournament?

Sources indicate multiple NHL players are indeed considering opting-out of participation. The MOU allows any player to decline participation for any reason, without penalty.

The window to opt-out begins when the new CBA is ratified by vote and the deadline is 5 p.m. ET on the third day following, so likely Monday, July 13 – the same day players are scheduled to report for training camp.

Some players with underlying medical conditions may not have to make the choice. After consultation with team doctors and infectious disease experts, if a player is determined to “be at substantial risk of developing a serious illness as a result of exposure to the novel coronavirus” he will be “deemed unfit to play and shall not be permitted to participate” in both training camp and the bubble.

The Canadiens’ Max Domi, the Rangers’ Kaapo Kakko and the Wild's Luke Kunin all have Type 1 diabetes, plus Domi and Kakko also have Celiac disease, which may put them at further risk. There are other players who have family members who may be at substantial risk and will choose not to take the chance.​

I would take Brouwer 10 times again before I took Neal. Even though Brouwer struggled here I still thought he was an NHL player. I couldn't say the same about Neal. Not even close.

That's like saying I'd rather pay $16 for a Dome Foam than $17.

He had a total of 4 fights on the Flames in 154 games.

Right, but given that choice, no one is choosing to pay $17.

His first season, he only had 1 fight, but the Flames also had Engelland, Ferland, and Hathaway willing to fight that year.

His second season, he had 3 fights. Only Hamonic and Hathaway had more (and he was tied with Lomberg and Glass).
