Just a wee bit of difference.
Again though...this will go to a vote of the membership and ultimately will decide what they wish to do. I believe that it may be very close but there are a lot of things that will determine that.
Locations, schedules, safety/health protocols, housing, nutrition, and everything else elite athletes require to perform. Will there be a break to see loved ones at any point? Can families be part of it from the beginning? What does it look like on the other side ie is there a break between SC being awarded and starting the next season? If so how long and how many games will next season be? etc

He is not playing 3-4 months, he is playing 10-12 games unless you think a miracle run us happening for the Habs. I am sure their families are isolating, they don't even have to leave the house for groceries at their pay grade so their families are safe. With today's tech they can see their family every day via video conference call. Let's see what he says if the league finds a way to keep their families with them, I am betting players like this still won't be in favour of resuming. Regardless the impression we have been given is the majority of players are looking forward to it, it is going to happen. The vote won't be close.
