The Philadelphia Flyers will be without Cam York<\/a> to open their season, as the team announced<\/a> he will begin the season on injured reserve. PHLY\u2019s Charlie O\u2019Connor<\/a> reports York \u201chas a lower-body issue\u201d and while the Flyers see it as a day-to-day injury, York\u2019s ailment has kept defenseman Dennis Gilbert<\/a> on their season-opening roster. Gilbert was placed on waivers<\/a> on Oct. 4 and cleared, but will now avoid reassignment back to the AHL while York recovers.<\/p>\n

Remaining on the NHL roster despite clearing waivers has a negligible effect on Gilbert\u2019s earnings. As he\u2019s signed to a one-way contract, he\u2019s owed his $850K salary regardless of which level he plays at. With that said, NHL players\u2019 earnings are subject to escrow, while AHL players\u2019 are not, meaning staying on the roster may actually (technically) cost Gilbert a marginal amount of money compared to what he would pocket if he was reassigned to the AHL. There are other factors to consider, such as pension credit received for every 20 games spent on an NHL roster and the additional practice time he\u2019ll have to impress NHL coaches, that make this a valuable opportunity for Gilbert, even if it does come at the unfortunate cost of a day-to-day injury to York.<\/p>\n

Some other notes from around the NHL:<\/p>\n

The Boston Bruins announced today that former captain and Hockey Hall of Fame defenseman Zdeno Chara<\/a> will see his number retired and raised to the rafters of TD Garden this season. Chara ranks third all-time in scoring by a Bruins defenseman, behind only legendary blueliners Bobby Orr<\/a> and Ray Bourque<\/a>. \u201cBig Z\u201d won the Norris Trophy in 2008-09 and also played for the New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, and Washington Capitals across his 1,680-game NHL career.
\nThe Carolina Hurricanes announced today that team president Doug Wharf has resigned after a little over one year in his position. Wharf, who oversaw all business operations for the Hurricanes and their arena, Lenovo Center, was officially announced<\/a> as the team\u2019s president in July of last year. Wharf re-joined the Hurricanes in that post after previously working for the team from 2000-2017, according to the team\u2019s press release. Regarding the news, The Fourth Period\u2019s David Pagnotta reported<\/a> that Wharf\u2019s resignation can be traced to \u201ca difference in alignment\u201d between himself and team owner Tom Dundon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Flyers will be without Cam York to open their season, as the team announced he will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[740,49,96774,48,748,94988,448,752,82,91959],"class_list":["post-194678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-boston-bruins","tag-ca","tag-cam-york","tag-canada","tag-carolina-hurricanes","tag-dennis-gilbert","tag-nhl","tag-philadelphia-flyers","tag-sports","tag-zdeno-chara"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
