One of the big take aways is him saying he thinks its about 600 Million dollars that are due to be paid out in signing bonuses on July 1 this year.
If there's no fans for next season these crazy signing bonuses are going to bleed some teams dry, going forward I'm fairly certain any new CBA will limit these bonuses.

Just a quick look at a few teams

Toronto owes 8 players $61 million on July 1. ($37m July 2021)
Rangers owe 8 players $34 million on July 1. ($24m July 2021)
Tampa owes 5 players $28.5 million on July 1. ($25m July 2021)
Edmonton owes 4 players $22 million on july 1. ($13m July 2021)

Looks good on the idiots

Flames owe Johnny, Monny and Chucky $3.5m each this year but nothing next July
