This season is a list cause and a write-off. It is best to just admit the reality of the situation and make sure that a resumption plan is in place for October or January or whenever the next season might kick off.

The next season is going to be filled with challenges for the players, owners, refs, league executives, media, etc and identifying and mitigating the risks is critical. The NHL is going to need to provide guidelines on revenue, safety, travel, infrastructure modifications and whatever else.

I feel that as more time and focus is spent on trying to resume now it hurts the next season.

Why can’t they do both?
