Likely most of the big name players go to China while the AHL, PTOs, unsigned draft picks, etc stay in North America.

It looks like they're going a week earlier this year, so they'll likely be back in Canada before most teams have even played their first preseason games.
One good thing is that this likely means the full NHL roster will be going to China and actually playing games together early in the preseason instead of not getting the full roster in a game together until the first game of the regular season.
