I don't see any way they cancel next season, but I do see it delayed as much as possible hoping they can get fans back into arena's for as much of the season as possible. So I can see them delaying it till say December or January, and just extending it to June / July. I think given the circumstances, the NHLPA would be on board with that as well.

I think whatever the NFL and MLB have done by then will determine what their steps will be, as those two leagues would be well into their seasons. So whether it's even possible to have fans in arena's will play out with them first.
