Pierre Lebrun on what the league might do with the three week break-
Quote:
If the NHL and NHLPA do pull out, there are questions as to what happens with those three empty weeks on the schedule.
My sense recently was that the league would attempt to unclog some of the busier stretches for some clubs if their arena availabilities allow for re-scheduled games.

The fact is, the league did ask clubs to try to keep their buildings mostly open during that stretch in case there was an Olympic pull-out, but understandably some teams went ahead and took the sure revenue in concert dates.
