Recently, a significant development in the hockey world has captured media attention: five players from the 2018 Canadian junior team, including Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, Dillon Dube, and Alex Formenton, have simultaneously taken leave from their respective teams for personal reasons.

This surprising move raised questions about their status and salaries within their teams. Hockey insider Frank Seravalli provided some clarifications that sparked widespread dissatisfaction among fans.

Seravalli revealed that these players would continue to receive their salaries from their organizations despite their current tumultuous circumstances. This situation has been a source of much debate in the hockey community.

«Subject to change, but as I understand the current situation for the 4 NHL players who have taken personal leave:

- Each player will continue to be paid.

- Each player will continue to count against the salary cap.

- They do not count towards the final roster limit.»

This revelation led to heated discussions, with Seravalli noting that the situation might evolve depending on future developments. However, the controversy remains regarding these players continuing to earn their significant salaries under these conditions.
