''Teams are starting to ask players who received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine to consider a booster. Before the season, the idea of a booster was a real hot-button topic. Clubs were concerned a good chunk of players would say no. I think that's softened, but we will see where it goes. On the Olympics, I don't see three postponed games as threatening NHL participation in Beijing. If this continues to happen, that's when you've got reason to worry. A positive COVID case in China means a three-week quarantine. That would dissuade me more than making up games. The NHL long lists are 55 names per country (56 for Canada with Carey Price's special status), but someone was saying that there are 150 names for some countries when you consider the possibilities if the NHLers don't go.''
