What happens if a few players test positive after play resumes? I don't see how that won't lead to a second shut down, even after all the work and resources put into this reconstructed season.
Every league needs to come up with a strategy on what to do if, some would argue when, players or team staff test positive when things resume- whether it is this season or next.
In a normal scenario, a flu outbreak in the locker room might only be covered by the local beat reporter, but hardly TSN or ESPN news. In this case, a few infections would likely be a huge story and the pressure to cancel again.
