Friends, we’re expecting to get more definitive information later this week about the return of NHL hockey. Not just scheduling and cap implications, but also things like COVID guidelines, contingency plans, and next steps.
As we wait, here’s the mailbag!

Honestly, they both have good shots. Phillips is a third year pro and while he’s not physically large, he’s whip-smart and really fast on the ice. He boasts strong situational awareness and can play wing or centre, though he’s awfully small to be a regular pivot at the NHL level.
