Around The NHL 2019/2020

As long as the facilities and all involved can be kept as safe as possible I don't care where they play

Vegas makes sense 

Players would be okay being quarantined in NYNY or Park MGM I’m sure.

Yes, it makes sense, Vegas would be less of a gamble.Sens' Melnyk '100%' confident Stanley Cup will be awarded this  '100%' confident Stanley Cup will be awarded this season

Only one rink though in Vegas and how well will that ice hold up in 40c temps outside?

Supposed to be replaying a Jets - Stars game on TSN 3 tonight....  Old Jazz - Bulls playoff game is on instead.  Kinda bummed, was looking forward to it.

24 team playoffs.  Top four teams in each conference get a bye but will play warm up games.  
 

First round (buy in) would be best of five.  Jets vs Flames.

but since that's not clickable

Jets in four.

I imagine there will be some players who don’t want to be sequestered from their families for the length of the playoffs but it would surprise me if it was a very large amount not chomping at the bit to get back to playing.

Just like the 80's when Jets fans thought their team was better the Calgary 🙄

But we were. Flames sucked then, they suck now and they will suck in the future.

sounds like once they return back, we'll be waiting two weeks for the playoffs to start

The draft lottery will take place in two stages.
1st stage: Lotteries to choose 1, 2, and 3.
If all three picks are won by non-resuming clubs, that's it.
If any pick is won by a resuming team, then a second lottery will take place among play-in losers before the round of 16.
Draft Lottery, Bettman warns, is a bit complicated.

Possibly two phases of the draft, depending on results of various draws.

7 clubs not in playoffs and eight losers from qualifying round will be eligible.

Temporary placeholders right now.

Phase 1 conducted June 26.

You would think that Bettman could afford a better camera 😀, long way to go for hockey to resume but the Bundesliga has had no problems yet, fingers crossed

I guess you can strike off the Twin cities as an NHL hub city
