Unless I'm misinterpreting something, you're still AT LEAST one player short even when Veleno hits 10.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CantStopWontStop</b></div><div>Just curious: anybody know?

Does the current established player contract require alcohol distribution from teams? As far as I’m aware, every single team has a free, self serve bar for players and provides during flights. This is knowledge passed on from somebody who was in the league during the 80s thru the 00s.

Could teams remove player/employee access to alcohol if they wanted?

Could teams bar players and other team individuals from consuming alcohol “during work hours” or “on premises”?

I’m guessing they cannot, or we would have heard about it occurring. Or maybe it does occur, but due to sponsorship type stuff, we never hear about it.

As an owner, my rule would be very clear and start on day one of the season: in a playoff spot? Let the booze flow. Outside looking in? None. Entirely too many players end up in alcohol related incidents and alcohol is by far the worst consumer product to fill a bunch of professional athletes apart from silly stuff like feeding them nails or bleach. Every other consumable “substance”, including -all- of the illegal ones, does less damage to a pro athletes body and mind, altho some aren’t far behind, whether that be from how body processes sugar, the after effects of consumption, the effects of consumption, and it’s addictive qualities.</div></div>

Exhibit 14 of the current CBA lays out some Standard Club Rules, and the first one is as follows:

"Alcohol consumption is absolutely prohibited on Club flights, in airports or in any
hotel in which the Club is staying, unless specifically authorized by the Head
Coach or General Manager. In all other cases, alcohol consumption must be
sensible. If a Player has been drinking and has a vehicle with him, the Club shall
reimburse him for his cab fare home without questions or retribution."

The only other mention of alcohol in the CBA is that a player is not permitted to endorse any alcoholic beverages, with the exception of malt-based beverages such as beer or ale.

In the player contract, there are a few mentions of general "conduct", that may be used to prevent a player from drinking on-premises:

"The Club may from time to time during the continuance of this SPC establish reasonable
rules governing the conduct and conditioning of the Player, and such reasonable rules shall form
part of this SPC and the Agreement as fully as if herein written" (player can be suspended by the team for breaking one of these rules).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Steven_Stamkos</b></div><div>Open to trading Dougie Hamilton (LTIR)

Also willing to trade Burakovsky (IR)
and Freddy Anderson (LTIR/IR)

Looking for a starting goalie or a 1B who plays in a tandem

Have lots of defenseman on my roster.
Also looking to add a forward.

Willing to move my IR guys in order to get more roster players. Currently have 2 guys on IR and wasting roster spots. Willing to trade for cheaper returns because of this.</div></div>

Freddie probably won't play again this year (someone with your user name should know how long blood clots take to come back from), and looks like Dougie is out for the rest of the regular season as well, I don't think you're getting too much value out of either of them.
