If the season is cancelled then I think the NHL will impose a "freeze" on all player signings. That means Crosby won't be able to sign anywhere. Once hockey resumes Then they would probably have a Draft right after a new CBA is agreed apon. The order would be a 30 team lottery to see the draft order. Since nobody won any games or lost any games , there would legally be a 30 team tie for first and last place. Remember that the draft part of the new CBA has not been agreed apon, so Sidney Crosby would have no rights at all. Not even to become a free agent. Another thought would be a temporary settlement for the NHL draft only. Meaning they would agree to a ONE DAY CBA under the old rules just to have the draft, which I would imagine could happen very easily.
