NHL News: Unvaccinated, Nylander, Bertuzzi, Devils, Keith, and Archibald
Jerome Miron-USA TODAY SportsOn the unvaccinated
Puck Pedia: “For unvaccinated players who cannot be with team due to travel/quarantine rules or COVID infections, they are not paid. For cap purposes, this is similar to players suspended without pay, where the team does not incur a cap hit while the player is suspended without pay”
Stephen Whyno: “Remember, any NHL team can suspend an unvaccinated player without pay if he’s not available to participate. So, a virus positive or close contact would cost him more money. Vaccinated players have those treated as hockey injuries and are paid.”
Nylander not fully vaxxed yet
