You can certainly look at those as positives but you would have negative pressure impacting the NHL "brand" as well. You'll have a group of public officials, private individuals, health authorities and media that would nail the NHL for deciding to resume their schedule and put people at risk. Where the balancing point is between positive exposure and negative exposure is for risk analysts or someone to figure out.
