Could see Vancouver having a strong case with BC's good covid numbers, hotel space, and having at least two rinks that I know of which could host NHL games in Rogers and the Pacific Colosseum.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't want to win a cup in this type of scenario. It just feels so empty and takes the total euphoria out of it, one of the best moments of 2011 was seeing thousands of people gathered in Vancouver watching the game on a large outdoor screen.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what incentive would there be for teams, currently out of the playoffs, to bring back all their players for a training camp that will cost $$$$$$$$$$, in order to finish the regular season? Even worse, if they decide to shorten the season to 72-75 games?
Given all the logistics that they'll have to work out (especially safety), just call it a finished regular season using points % (as they plan to do with the draft, it seems), and finalize the 16 teams. Decide on the venues, get a training camp in for 2-3 week period, and then proceed with the usual playoff schedule (4 rounds of 7 games).
Forget the asterisk for the winner, as all playoff teams will be in the same boat starting out.
Players need access to practice rinks and gyms to practice and train. Kind of like hosting a wjhc tournament.So would the players need to be in the hotel or at the rink 24/7? (If so, what about their families?) How would they guarantee the the players will not, for example, go to Stanley Park for a walk and then bring the virus back to the team? Or is that a risk they are willing to take?
We no fans and no celebrations outside, how much benefit (economically) would this truly bring?
If Original Six fans get to lay claim to Stanley Cups where you had a 17% chance just for showing up, no draft, no cap, no foreign players, and most guys couldn’t even do a slapshot... yeah, there are no asterisks here.Totally disagree. I want to win a cup, and screw it if there is an asterisks attached.

They're just starting to feel out possibilities and making very preliminary stabs. Just floating the idea of *maybe* doing *something* again this year. Nothing's remotely decided on yet.sorry guys, i've been sort of out-of-the-loop recently and don't know whats going on.
is it confirmed the season will conclude with a winner?
has the playoff format been announced? if there are teams bidding on hosting the games, i would imagine they've decided on what the games are?
google doesnt really show that anything has been announced and that seems odd all things considered.
