Yep.
With the virus exploding on both sides of the border, and players/coaches being human and not exempt from it, I have a hard time believing this will be a go anytime soon.
They should just wait until things settle down....likely March or so, and then just play through the summer again.
With a vaccine starting to be distributed to the public in a couple months, they may even be able to have decent sized crowds by waiting which will increase HRR and make both the owners and players a lot more comfortable.
I do wonder though of there are a few franchises that are nearing life support and want things to start sooner to get what revenue there will be into the coffers sooner.
Also there is the whole Olympic thing standing out there and NBC may refuse to show games during that time which would put a big crimp in such a plan.
So much to deal with.
