I know I say this every year, but this is my dream schedule ...

ASG gets played in September as the official Kickoff to the season:
- fans are itching for hockey
- players are itching to get back
- selection is based on the entire previous season and playoffs
- a true celebration of the game and the highlights of the previous season
- very few players would opt out for ‘maintenance’ reasons

Winter Classic remains as the key mid-season event.

Insert single bye weeks for teams in late Jan to mid Feb for maintenance.
