Why’s that? What insane numbers did we get in 2012-13?
You mean aside from double the number of PPG players over the previous year?

the ASG should be done with forever
What, You mean a 3 on 3 holiday on ice with a bunch of dancing chimpanzees was a bad idea?
Fully agree but it generates too much cash for the host city, NHL and the PA for it to scrapped.
A shortened season also probably works in Hall's favour given that he's injured so much in normal years. With a shortened season he might just feel that it's worth it to sign a 1 year deal if it means that he can play on a top contender for basically the first time in his career. If he puts up PPG next to Mackinnon and then has a great playoffs his next contract could be enormous.Avs are the perfect team for Hall. Great young team with lots of cap space.
Expectation was still a full slate of games but compressed schedule.So are they going to start the new season in January and just do a lockout-style half season?
But the cap is staying the same next year. And only raising by a million the year after that. What benefit is a 1 year deal when teams will be in even deeper cap trouble a year from now? Hall in particular will be 30 next year. It’s not like he’s going to have a great season and increase his value. He’s likely already proven enough. He’s better off taking that long term security even though unfortunately he will have to take a huge pay cut.If I was one of the big UFA's I'd only sign a 1 year deal.

League scoring actually fell in the lockout season.Looks like it and oh boy, we're going to have insane PPG numbers if that's the case. 2012-2013 on steroids.

Being optimistic of having as much of a full season as possible, they could just have a 1-month free agency period, with training camps built in. If you are a Free Agent and want to spend weeks dragging out a contract, so be it, miss some time. That could lead to a December start of the season, (2 months behind schedule). No bi-weeks, and start the playoffs 1.5 months later than normal, and also have a shorter 2021 offseason.
They'd be back on track after that. Admittedly, that's probably a little too optimistic.
Idiots.
Wouldn’t it have been better to just cancel it as it was and prepare for a New season starting as usual?
Gotta be Better to ruin one season rather than two.
And the Covid would likely be less intense in september/october than now?
Possibly even the audience could have attended.

Next season would have to be a shortened 50 g schedule hopefully starting after Xmas.
Pierre LeBrun tweeted that as of right now the NHL is focused on playing 82 games in the 2020-21 season, so they would have the Stanley Cup Final next summer.Why? They could just push the playoffs into the summer. I don't think the players or owners have much interest in a shortened schedule that will impact the HRR.
