I've only skimmed through this thread so I apologize if it's even been brought up, but just a thought I had.
I could see situations like this being a reason for the NHL not to send players to China for the Olympics.
1. Reduce the risk of Covid spread and avoid more missed time from teams.
2. Using that 2-3 week gap to schedule in postponed games.
As much as I'm a sucker for international hockey and the chance to see Crosby, McDavid, Stamkos, etc. on a team, I don't think the NHL follows through.
