This is what doesn't make sense to me. What's the point of squeezing in these games if it then means delaying next season? At this point if practices aren't going to even start until July I say just scrap this season and restart next year. Either that or greatly reduce the playoffs to the top 8 teams in each conference with shorter rounds (3-5 until the finals)
It makes some sense if they believe that you can't have ticketed attendance until early in 2021 at the soonest. The NHL is still a gate driven league, with relatively small television revenues. Better to run a shortened 2021 season.
