I think it could work. If they close out the season schedule and if players are skating and working out a few weeks ahead then it would feel fairly legitimate. But they wouldnt be given the green light to travel and set this up until at least June 30th.
It would certainly be a welcome distraction and source of fun.
On the broadcasts you could have an active fancast going on with the game where you could have people call in via zoom/whatever from their households and do their chants and celebrations following goals.
It's something, just like the north American world cup tourney was something. People rolled their eyes at the idea, but when it happened the same people got into it.
