Because some of the European leagues are starting up soon (or, in the case of the KHL, have already started), and the NHL's 2020-21 start date is unknown at this time, we'll likely see more than a few players under NHL contracts being loaned to European clubs over the next while. Whenever the NHL/AHL seasons get going this fall/winter (if they do), these players will return to North America.

It's not unlike the lockout years.
