Almost every owner probably wants it in June . Did you see the numbers that the nfl virtual draft brought in? Not saying they would get the same ratings but my guess it would be the most televised nhl draft ever. They can sell advertisement for it at a premium right now. They won’t get that kind of sales and ratings if they actually finish the season and then do it.
Gm’s on the other hand probably want no part of it in June.
