Before the Blue Jackets even left the bubble in Toronto, Kekäläinen began having conversations with players in which he urged them to consider starting the 2020-21 season overseas and not wait for the NHL’s tentative December start. He expects to speak with several more players about it this week when he and his staff continue their player exit interviews, he told The Athletic. “We’re going to look into all of that with our prospects and roster players,” Kekäläinen said. “If you don’t play … we had some guys that didn’t get into the lineup (in Toronto), so they haven’t played since March 12. “Let’s say we start in December. That’s nine months. You cannot take nine months off from hockey, I don’t care what you do off the ice for training or on the ice for training. You have to play games where you can be in a competitive environment and improve and play games and develop the right way.” Per the memorandum of understanding reached as part of the return-t0-play plan and new collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and NHLPA in July, the Blue Jackets — or any NHL team, for that matter — can simply loan a player to a foreign league for training camp and the start of that league’s regular season. Kekäläinen isn’t the only GM thinking this way. The New York Rangers assigned forward Vitaly Kravtsov to Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL in Russia late last week, and several more prospects are expected to follow suit in the coming days. Edmonton forward Tomáš Jurčo and Toronto defenseman Martin Marinčin will open next season in Slovakia with HC Kosice. As long as the player is recalled by his NHL club more than seven days before the start of the NHL season, the player would not have to clear waivers. The global COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the completion of the 2019-20 season until early October. Thus, NHL training camps for 2020-21 are tentatively set to open on Nov. 17, with the regular season expected to begin Dec. 1. In that scenario, players who go to Europe could be recalled by Nov. 24 without needing to clear waivers. Any player recalled after Nov. 24 would need to clear waivers before he could join his NHL club. Of course, depending on the state of the pandemic over the next few months, those NHL dates could be pushed back to January or later. The KHL season begins Sept. 2. The Swedish Hockey League opens on Sept. 19, while Finland’s Liiga and Switzerland’s National League are set to open Oct. 1. “The (players) that I’ve talked to already have been receptive,” Kekäläinen said. “Why wouldn’t you be? That’s my question. 2 “If you’re not healthy, that’s one thing. If you want to use this time to rehab an injury and make sure you’re 100 percent at the start of (the NHL season), that’s one thing. But if you don’t want to play hockey, you’re in the wrong profession.” Agent Pat Brisson, who represents some of the biggest names in hockey and has several Blue Jackets players on his client list, said he would be open to letting his clients play abroad “as long as the players have an out clause to return.” “Many ideas and concepts will be discussed and explored during the next couple of months,” Brisson predicted. It seems highly unlikely that players without NHL contracts in place for next season would risk an injury by playing abroad. Unlike last summer, the Blue Jackets have only two unrestricted free agents — minor-league defensemen Doyle Somerby and Dillon Simpson. But they have some big names who are restricted free agents: forwards Josh Anderson and Pierre-Luc Dubois, and defensemen Vladislav Gavrikov. Anderson, otherwise, would be an ideal candidate. He played just 26 games this season, none after Dec. 14 because of a shoulder injury that required surgery. He could go almost an entire calendar year between games. It also seems highly unlikely that established players would head back to Europe to play for roughly 6-8 weeks before the NHL season begins, especially since the NHL has insisted it plans to play an 82-game season in 2020-21. Expect most of the players who do this to be prospects, especially foreign-born prospects. Because of the pandemic, there will be no NHL development camps. There won’t be an NHL prospects tournament in Traverse City, Mich., this year, either. So what about the Blue Jackets? “Kole Sherwood would make sense,” Kekäläinen said after the 23-year-old Ohio native was mentioned as a possible candidate. “Emil Bemstrom would make all kinds of sense. Anybody who didn’t play a lot (in the Toronto bubble) would make sense, but even if you did play and you’re a young guy … (Alexandre) Texier would make all kinds of sense.” Maybe young players like forwards Liam Foudy and Eric Robinson, defenseman Andrew Peeke and goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks could head abroad. Bemstrom came to the Blue Jackets via the Swedish League. Right winger Oliver Bjorkstrand played a season in his native Denmark before coming to North America. Defenseman Markus Nutivaara (injured) and goaltender Veini Vehviläinen (limited playing time) could be candidates to play in their native Finland again. What about goaltender Elvis Merzlikins and a possible return to Lugano in Switzerland? This is an interesting one to watch. Merzlikins worked so hard just one year ago to get acclimated to the smaller rinks of North America, the speed and skill in the NHL and the quick, odd-angle shots he wasn’t used to seeing overseas. 3 Early Monday it was learned that AHL Cleveland forward Calvin Thurkauf, who played three games in Columbus this season but was not with the team in Toronto, will open 2020-21 for Zug in the Swiss League. But Kekäläinen is open and optimistic with many players on his roster. “I have no idea (how many guys will go), but I’m hoping quite a few,” Kekäläinen said. “For guys who aren’t going somewhere, we’ll have to figure something out, obviously. We’ll follow the league rules and all that, but I think you’d be insane from the league and players’ union perspectives not to allow a little bit of a different approach this season.” 4 1st Ohio Battery / On The Horizon: Major Events Ahead For Columbus Blue Jackets In Abbreviated Offseason By Colin Hass-Hill - August 26, 2020 Don’t go asking coach John Tortorella to answer anything about how he and the Columbus Blue Jackets will use this shortened offseason. “I don't know when the season starts,” he said last week. “I have no idea. We'll just have to wait. The season has to finish, the playoffs.” Once that happened, maybe Tortorella will figure it out. But until then, we’ve got him covered. Because of the coronavirus pandemic that currently has had teams sequestered by themselves and league employees in Toronto and Edmonton for more than a month, the NHL’s upcoming schedule of critical events could always be altered. If there’s one thing 2020 has taught us, it’s that things can rapidly change. So, nothing’s set in stone, as Tortorella hinted. “I think with the health issue going on, who knows where that's going to be,” Tortorella said. “Does a second wave come in? Who knows. It won't take the coaches that long to get their camp together and do what you have to do. We don't stray too far away in how we want to do things. But as far as the scheduling of it, I don't have a clue of when it starts again.” Still, as the Blue Jackets enter a critical offseason, we have an idea of what the next few months will look like as they move past the 2020 postseason and start thinking about the 2020-21 regular season. Here are the important dates to keep in mind for the remainder of the year. You probably weren’t alone if your first thought when you saw the Toronto Maple Leafs deal Kasperi Kapanen to the Pittsburgh Penguins was, “Wait a second, teams can trade during the playoffs?” Well, they can.

  • Nhl Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – August 14, 2020
    NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – AUGUST 14, 2020 THREE HARD LAPS * The Blue Jackets, Hurricanes and Stars all evened their best-of-seven series at 1-1, while the Golden Knights emerged in overtime to take a 2-0 series lead. * Miro Heiskanen became the fourth-youngest defenseman in NHL history to score multiple goals in a playoff game, but it was the late-game heroics of teammate Jamie Oleksiak that tied the series for the Stars. * Robin Lehner remained perfect with the Golden Knights by improving to 2-0 against his former club, while Dougie Hamilton defeated his old team with his first playoff game-winner in more than six years. CHICAGO RALLIES, BUT VEGAS EMERGES WITH OT WIN, 2-0 SERIES LEAD The Blackhawks erased deficits of 2-0 and 3-2 to force overtime, but Reilly Smith scored his third goal of the series – and first career playoff overtime goal – to give the Golden Knights a 2-0 series lead. Vegas' only other 2-0 series lead came in the 2018 First Round when they swept Los Angeles en route to the Stanley Cup Final. * Jonathan Marchessault collected two assists to record multiple points for a third consecutive game (2-4—6), the second time he has done so in the postseason following an equal run in 2018 (4-2—6). Only two other players have posted at least three straight multi-point playoff games for Vegas: Max Pacioretty (4 GP: 4-6—10 in 2019) and William Karlsson (3 GP: 3-4— 7 in 2018).
