Isn't "unfit to play" usually a euphemism for "poor conditioning" or "non-hockey-related health condition"?
Maybe it’s a euphemism for he has Covid-19. I sure hope not.Isn't "unfit to play" usually a euphemism for "poor conditioning" or "non-hockey-related health condition"?

Yeah, my initial thought is that it is something COVID-related. I'm pretty sure other teams in other sports have used that same "unfit to play" wording.
NCAA has done this for legal reasons, but yeah the pro leagues have been pretty direct about covid protocols.No other league to this point has taken a we will no announce this approach. Every one has called an egg an egg and said the player has tested positive for covid.
Same thought crossed through my mind. Most organizations have been pretty open about the COVID announcements. Its for others safety as well to make sure they do not get exposed to the player in question.No other league to this point has taken a we will no announce this approach. Every one has called an egg an egg and said the player has tested positive for covid.

Is there a covid-specific list or is this just the regular IR?
I did find this list through the NHL PR twitter account (@PR_NHL):
NHL.com Media Site
If I'm reading what it says right, these players are just not allowed to be with their club.
