I think the financial repercussions of outright cancelling the season might be too devastating to the NHL and PA.

Sounds like it would essentially double escrow (talk of 35%), and might force salary rollbacks just to help absorb the losses. Apparently the NHL and NHLPA came to the conclusion that if they canceled the remainder of the season they would lose about $1B in revenue. One billion.

Both sides will do everything they can to find a way to finish the season.
