I think it's designed to make sure the play-in round isn't counted as "playoffs" in terms of players and coaches bonuses. It is, for all intents and purposes, playoffs, but if the losers of the play in round get into the draft lottery, then people won't get certain bonuses. Unless they come up with some specific language around bonuses, that will likely be the bar. On espn, yes espn had hockey talk lol. Daly said the players deferred their last paycheck.

Smart to defer that last cheque...escrow has to be at 25% at least

Tight lines across the board makes sense right now, regardless of previous standing this year.

It is kind of enjoyable to not have to think about how they are going to use Gustafsson in the playoffs and avoid only using 2 defensive pairings except on the power play.
On the flip side, we'll have the opportunity to confirm again why the Nylander pick-up was subtraction by addition

Oilers' Mike Green decides to opt out of the playoffs.
Also several other players around the league have opted out: Karl Alzner, Steve Kampfer, Sven Baertschi, Roman Polak, and maybe more to come.

Might end up being AHL squads batting it out for the Cup.

The only thing missing at the Oilers 2.0 training camp is an actual hockey team.
