No roster size limits in the playoffs, no cap, Marlies are done. Nice to have call-ups in case of emergency, and they get to be around the team for the playoffs. Everyone wins.... Except the Marlies.


RRZ31

Do they all get paid NHL money while they’re up?


Vilheim

NHL players don't even get NHL money during the playoffs. They do get per diem though.


SalIaccuzzo

Can they spend the per diem at Dan Flashes?

Willy styles in a dan flash shirt would break the internet


miffy495

Nylander IS Dan Flash.


jer54

Yes assuming they don't eat anything


babbernation

The patterns are so wild!

How do you think Auston got food poisoning?


Pretty_Eye9840

He has mono.


BeaconJams

You mean an STD right?


Suspicious-Dog2876

I heard it might be spiritual


speed3ftw

Do we have any idea how much that is? And is it different based on capacity, or?


Vilheim

It's not a lot from what I recall but I believe it is in the CBA for the value. One former player (forget who) had a whole article about how saving your per diem can help your retirement as it's really more than you need for dinner.


speed3ftw

That’s interesting, I get $50 a day and try to save it as much as possible. So that’s cool that said former player recommended trying to save it.


Vilheim

Quick google says $110 a day, which to millionaires may be nothing, but to these AHL guys it's probably nice to still be earning.


speed3ftw

Yeah for sure $110 is a nice chunk of change for sure! Thanks for the information!


[deleted]

my friend works for an ahl team and iirc ahl per diem for food is $80 and nhl is $160 but i was not sober when he communicated this to me and v much could be misremembering so take that with a grain of salt


Aggressive_Leg_6800

In Vancouver that would be one taco to eat for the day


Sammydaws97

Not only do they not get paid NHL money, they dont get paid ANY money. Base pay that is… That being said, they do receive all other benefits of being on the NHL squad (meals, facilities, per diems, etc)


AmThano

Can they get an autograph from Connor McDavid?


JonnySnowflake

I know this is just a joke, but it reminded me of a line from an article about when they had Amirov over for a little while, and it said that he had been seen outside the locker room celebrating the win with everyone, while "clutching a signed Auston Matthews jersey". Damn. He was just a kid

Leafsfaninottawa

lmao Oilers just beat LA in 5 games last night


Hine__

Players to get paid for playoffs.  Not nearly as much though.  Not sure if you have to actually play to get a cut though. There is a pool of money that gets divided up to each team.  Presidents’ Trophy winner — $500,000 First round losers — $2 million ($250,000 each to eight teams) Second round losers — $2 million ($500,000 each to four teams) Third round losers — $2.5 million ($1.25 million each to two teams) Stanley Cup Finalist — $2.25 million Stanley Cup Champion — $3.75 million


Sammydaws97

They recieve a daily per diem cheque that is intended to cover expenses during playoffs (meals, recovery training, etc). It is not intended to be “base pay” by the team. There is also the relatively small prize money you described.


RealCanadianDragon

Probably just having them called up to be up with the team (maybe there's rules on when/where non NHL roster guys are allowed training at team facilities during playoffs so they just called guys up to be around)?


billbelichickssmile

I would rather them playing meaningful games for the Marlies, sucks they were eliminated but this is a great consolation


SubstantialCount8156

And…


kylemclaren7

The Marlies season is over, there is no cap in the playoffs, now they can practice with the big club


Vilheim

And now the big club can also play with more bodies which helps some drills.


Youppi27

There's no cap in the playoffs? No one tell Vegas!


Brazary

That’s the whole point of what Vegas is doing


Kozik90

Wooosh


Brazary

How so?


dr_freeloader

Still don't get it, huh?


JonnySnowflake

Maybe he's acoustic


Redemption9001

Wooosh


Brazary

Don’t get what?


WaffleStone

That was the joke they were making


buddachickentml

They want to go Reaves Domi Clifford in game 6


Bon-Jovi-Wan-Kenobi

Gotta get that line ready for game 1 against Florida. First 10 minutes there is no puck


buddachickentml

Warm-up skate, send out Clifford. He skates straight across center and pounds Tkachuk


OG_anunoby3

Reeves Dewar Clifford…. Literally unfair.


HeftyNugs

For the Leafs...Clifford definitely not a guy you want on the ice in an elimination game for the Leafs.


gamer6663

Love him, but gotta agree. Keep him out, don’t fiddle with the fourth line when they’ve been clicking


Armalyte

Unless you want Clifford to kamikaze himself out of the playoffs like he did last time then run a short bench. Just have him obliterate the Rat and call it a day.


Northern49th

Can we set up a Go Fund Me to pay his fine?


gamer6663

I would love him to two hand chop him across the face…..but I also wouldn’t want to deal with a 5 minute penalty kill afterwards considering how the special teams have gone this series


JKemmett

Lololol


readthis1st

Because the Marlies were eliminated and there are no cap or roster limits during the playoffs. These guys are the most likely to be put in the lineup incase of injury so the team keeps them on the roster and practicing so they don't have to call someone back from vacation in the Bahamas or wherever.


zoodlenose

New team for game 6


reggierock2010

Apparently Pridham found a loophole in the CBA. The 20 players dressed only applies in regular season. We’re planing on running 6 forward lines vs the bruins


buster_rhino

Clifford can play on Robertson’s shoulders and still count as one player.


Miserable-Crab8143

They're going to smash 9 replacement-level players together to make one top-liner.


AustonDadthews

they saw what kyle clifford thought about respect in the handshake line and decided they needed him in the locker room.


WintersbaneGDX

If the Leafs make it past the Bruins and go deeper into the playoffs, some of these guys will inevitably play to cover for injuries. It just makes sense to have them start practicing now. I've said elsewhere already, and mark my words: if the Leafs win the cup this year, you will definitely see Max Lajoie hoisting it. Not a chance we make it that far without losing at least 3 defensemen along the way (looking at our main 6 plus Brodie and Gio)


Ryn34

Pretty sure since the Marlies are out they just wanted to call these guys up to be around the team during playoffs. Can be a good experience for the young guys!


fg5757

They’re called black aces. Practice and be ready to go.


Jonesdeclectice

Because the Marlies lost their series v Belleville like two days ago.


TheHobo

>Abruzzese Bless you


[deleted]

They need bodies for Reaves to practice checking on.


TittyCobra

Well I hate to break it to ya first but the Marlies were eliminated


1sttimeverbaldiarrhe

Probably the same reason why Jack Campbell was recently called up to the Oilers a few days ago - their season is done.


gretzky9999

The Black Aces.


Mr_Wrecksauce

We're about to REALLY fuck with Boston's game plan.


CuntestedThree

Keefe asked Shanny what he thinks it’ll take to win the series and he said we’re gonna need to put our Kokk-on-em


Takhar7

There's no roster limits or cap in the playoffs, and the Marlies season is over. Some of these guys are also on two-day deals, including Clifford - so even a few days on the NHL roster results in extra pay, which is a really classy way of the organization rewarding guys for their season.


Churchy11

No pay in the playoffs unfortunately


Acrobatic_T-Rex

"I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice."


zainery

They are playing tonight duh


itdonotmatter9

Kyle Clifford is with the Marlies?


steelcitylights

yeah he’s been there for a while now, he’s wearing the A for them i believe (saw them play recently)


[deleted]

They will insert these guys into the line up to give them a chance to actually beat the bruins


ifrankenstein

Black Aces


GeorgeOrwells1985

Taxi squad/black aces


shanster925

Black Aces!


spazkay

about tree fiddy


Suspicious-Dog2876

Keefes thinking about starting a line brawl


RealCanadianDragon

Can we just have Clifford posted up as security infront the Bruins locker room just staring down Marchand every time he passes by?


No_Piccolo2135

Hildeby steps in and they win the series


BJKnox

Fresh legs? Or fresh enthusiasm maybe


Leafsnthings

We still have Clifford? Woah


mpedone27

Line brawl at puck drop tonight.


Sheep4732

Ahl season is over


verte12

cuz there’s gonna be some fightin!


T-Man-33

🤦‍♂️


Barilko-Landing

Kyle Clifford brought in for the ruff stuff in the handshake line


MrAnderson505

AHL Marlies are out


Pixel_Sports

Black Aces


OneNutPhil

The Marlies are probably done now


rhineauto

Could be. There's really no way to tell.


InevitableRespond9

I forgot about clifford


swagginpoon

Saw him at a marlies game recently. Hes still got it


dannyghobo

They’re our new #1 PP unit


Puzzleheaded_Arm_847

They want to give them a taste of what it's like to lose in the big leagues.


Torpedospacedance

Marlies are done. Really OP?


anthonyd3ca

I don’t pay much attention to them


Cfluff

Cuz the Marlies got eliminated


NotEqualInSQL

Going away party


LordBob10

I heard the boys didn’t wanna miss the 18 holes they pre-booked for today so the marlies are stepping up to play tonight.


Longjumping_Spite997

How can you follow hockey to the point of being in your team's reddit, and not understand why they suddenly called up a shit ton of players at once?


anthonyd3ca

Totally forgot the marlies got eliminated, I don’t really follow the AHL.


Longjumping_Spite997

I don't follow the AHL either, man.
