Who does not remember the situation about Nikita Kucherov, who missed the 56 games of the shortened schedule 2021, to appear in the playoffs in remarkable form. "Kuch" crowned the playoffs with a collection of 32 points, nine more than the one who finished second in scoring in the playoffs.
The NHL wants to avoid a repeat, obviously. However, Bill Daly announced that the NHL has agreed to the Montreal Canadiens' request to place Weber on the long-term injured list.
For now, he meets the conditions, but his condition will be monitored by the NHL. Since the CH received the green light from the league, Weber's salary will no longer count against the salary structure while he rehabs. The organization will also have to submit regular reports on the health of its captain.
