Unknown if any delays due to manufacturing pucks, trackers.

The KHL started the players tracking before the 2019-2020 season.

Listening to today's NHL podcast "@ The Rink" they were talking with Steve Mayer about what changes are coming for conference finals and the Stanley Cup Final for TV. He mentioned that more "virtual" content is coming. Nothing explicit that I recall, but it might be related/part of player/puck tracking.
