This is a good point, especially this year as our farm team would be relatively inaccessible for immediate call ups (2 week quarantine would presumably be required?)
It leads me to another thought- I wonder if there will be some cap flexibility granted for clubs to carry extra "scratched" players to avoid this problem. Obviously we would want most of our players still getting playing time in the AHL, but if we could park a few vets in a "scratch" pool where they have to be reactivated to play due to injury or something and didn't otherwise count against that cap it would be a huge benefit.
