But on the other end, the players will be entering the playoffs in prime physical condition after a three-month break. All playoff teams will most likely be completely healthy to start, which would be entirely novel.

I still think professional sports before Oct 2020 is a pipe-dream. Maybe the NFL gets going on schedule, but I see that as the most optimistic scenario.

Can't blame the players for getting creative. I think there will still be a big market for their proposed solution, and hockey related revenue is going to get crushed if they do nothing. I'm not a CBA expert, but everyone's piece of the pie is shrinking, and this would mitigate some of those effects.

This would require contract extensions after July 1st for players that need one, that's another thing that is completely uncharted territory. How would that play out? Also if this schedule holds it would mean also the Olympics will be played, maybe the tv ratings would take a hit since it's summer and most don't want to be glued to the tv. Plus a condensed schedule.



Seems like a reach on top of being a long shot to be able to start in June.

I think somebody should tell the players there are more important things to worry about right now...seems they are just worried about the cap going down

People need something to look forward to (including players).

At the bare minimum it's something to do and think about (or distract from), I don't blame them at all even if it's all for naught.

Let it go I hope Flames focus on putting a team together that will play every month of the next season with a coach that has experience

Ok, so what are you suggesting here, that the players should be on the front lines treating people?

There's nothing they can do about Corona that they aren't already. But there is nothing at all wrong with making contingency plans for how and when they can return to their jobs.

Being inside an enclosed arena during a hot summer day doesn't sound enticing even if the games are big since it's playoffs.

Baseball is the perfect sport for the summer because a great majority of stadiums are outdoors, or have retractable roofs with a design that incorporates a lot of natural lighting. Watching baseball inside a closed off dome while it's sunny outside sucks, and teams that are in those type of venues are either looking to move into new stadiums, or pull off a massive reno (Toronto Blue Jays - Rogers Centre) to bring in more natural lighting.

This summer is the only time that having playoffs go late into summer would be acceptable to most I figure.
