Timing will be everything. Don't want it too early, and don't want it too late depending how late they go. Like in the NFL, it sux if you have a bye week early in the season. Its nice if you get it mid to late of the weeks its available so that you guys can rest up and recoup injuries.

The league and the NHLPA have committed to building a "five-day bye week" for each team into the schedule next season. The league will schedule one for each club between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28 next season.
