I don't think it means that at all. I don't think anyone expected bubbles for next season, it's always been more likely to be without bubbles but have significantly reduced travel.
Most likely we are going to see 3 US divisions of 8 teams and a Canadian division of 7 teams, with a schedule where teams only play their own division. Then to reduce travel further, teams will probably play 2-3 games in a city at a time.
We've seen in baseball that a a reduced travel schedule can work as after their terrible start, things really got much better for them after that.
