Honestly, players would have to be insane to consider that a positive. I realise that they're not NHL players or pro-athletes, but I know people who have gone through this lockdown process in China and frankly they're not coming out of that all refreshed and ready to compete in a professional sports competition.
I also think that Vlad is right (posted in the other thread about Covid) in that the NHL will use those two weeks to try to make up some of the games that have been missed.
