Not much else to say about it other than I hope he gets better ASAP, and that he’s not one of the people who develop any sort of long-term consequences from COVID-19 infection.
Otherwise, it’s Draft Day! The NHL’s 2020 Entry Draft begins this evening, with the first few minutes of bloviating (before the New York Rangers take Alexis Lafreniere at 1) set to begin at 5PM MST.
Ken Holland sat down with the media yesterday to talk all things all things, and suggested that, while there are a few scenarios they’re preparing for, he expects Edmonton to pick — probably a forward — at 14. Stay tuned.
