I think if there are several states open within the month it's plausible for the NHL to have non-fan attended games at specific neutral sites.
I do wonder what benefit it is for the NHL. They incur additional travel and logistic costs, and health liabilities, while not getting any gate revenue and not getting more TV/streaming $$$ as those contracts already exist.
Is there opportunity for them to generate additional tv/stream broadcasting channels?? or are they running the risk of having to Lose $ on existing broadcast contracts if season is lost??
Why is it crucial for the league to start up financially? (Likely a dumb question, but I'm curious)
