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.

Why are you fixating on just Danault?
Is he the only guy who isnt sure? Are guys on playoff likely teams just fine with leaving for 4 months possibly?
Have you spoken to them? You sure seem to know what 600-700 guys are thinking. I have not myself.
I mean the players literally formed a committee just recently to investigate how things would work if they go back...cant believe they have their questions answered already since no one can give them science based solid ones. Just today the NHL was to announce an extension of the team quarantine thing for 3 more weeks i believe.
From Tavares who is one of 5 on that committee,
Quote:
We’ve definitely had that conversation about the time commitment and what that could account for, especially teams that go really deep in the playoffs and if this scenario is the one that ends up happening, I think from players we definitely brought that up to their attention and they’ve completely been really understanding that that’s a part of this process and something that’s going to have to be addressed,’’ Tavares said. “Because that’s a very significant amount of time.’’
“I know personally, my situation, that would be very difficult to go through that amount of time without seeing your family, especially a newborn son and whatnot,” Tavares said. “But I think the league has been very receptive, there are still hurdles to cross before we get into more details about that.”
