Im curious how anyone, anywhere, could have any sort of idea who will do what when we are heading into a situation that has literally never ever happened before.
Even during normal times, players can still skate after a few weeks off during the summer to heal up.
No one anywhere (maybe Swedes?) has been able to skate regularly for 2 1/2 months now. It seems making predictions based on anything but what was happening before everything stopped is nothing more than a fools errand.
Everyone is healthy now other than those that were never coming back this season, no one will have any sort of home ice advantage, some players will respond better than others to being quarantined but no one really knows who that is until it happens...etc.
Just WAY to many variables and unknowns for anyone to understand what is likely to happen.
