I hear the coronavirus could also make it so that the cap decreases, which would be horrible for the Knights.

 

[LadyStanley]

WRT cap, NHL and NHLPA can negotiate next season's cap, not necessarily dependent on this season's HRR

Canceling season is poor wording at this point. Suspension for 2-3 weeks probably makes sense, but could go on longer. When it that happens they could go straight to playoffs or a very short resumption to give bubble teams a shot and playoff teams a chance to get back up to speed.

 

[Super Cake]

At this point, i would welcome a suspension.

Give all our injured players the chance to rest.

 

[Brazen331]

I hope they are just going to say we are following CBJ and playing without fans. If they freeze the season now and just resume with playoffs I guess we’re playing Winnipeg.

I’m good with that, prefer it to Nashville or Minnesota m.

I feel like immediately going into the playoffs after such a long break would make for some horrible hockey. Everyone would be rusty.

But i honestly don't know what they are going to do.

 

[LadyStanley]

Nothing definitive, yet

If Lehner only plays 3 games with us and leaves in the offseason the trade will feel really pointless.

But we got 6 points

It's either a long break or cancelling the whole season. Only a matter of time until the NHL follow suit.

And NHL teams heading to airport to know if they're heading home or on to next stop

And teams asked to provide building availability through July.

I wonder how they are planning to handle expired contracts....

[Vegan Knight]

Still holding hope they will be back for a type of playoffs, even behind closed doors.

 

[LadyStanley]

NHL, AHL (and probably ECHL), USHL, CHL (OHL, WHL, QMJHL) all cancelling or postponing season.

U18 Worlds cancelled.

U18 Worlds cancelled.

MLB cancelled Spring Training and will likely postpone Opening Day.

NFL said yesterday that they are going forward with Vegas draft. Unknown whether today's trends force them to punt.

 

[LadyStanley]

Clark County has yet to rule on banning groups of N or more.

Once they do, the draft may get cancelled (in person).
