Year prior, it was July 6:

Typically it's during draft week. Skipping the pandemic seasons, here are recent examples:
2023: Schedule (June 27), Draft (June 28-29),
2022: Schedule (July 6), Draft (July 7-8)
2019: Draft (June 21-22), Schedule (June 25)
2018: Schedule (June 21), Draft (June 22-23)
Edit: I forgot there is a variable with Utah being added but I vaguely recall that they had been working on two versions of the schedule when the relocation rumors were gaining steam.

Wednesday next week would be a good bet. In recent years they have typically tried to release it before free agency, and Thursday is the awards and Friday is the draft. Then Monday in July 1. Although going back they used to wait and release in July on the Wednesday after the MLB All-Star Game.

Utah idnt going to factor as much given thry would be geographically paired.
They likely did contingency plans with SLC being the location over 6 months ago.

July 2nd. We're all ready, waiting to see when the Ducks play in Philadelphia for the Cutter Gauthier debut at Wells Fargo Center where he will get booed all night
Probably if NHL schedule draft had Coyotes home game planned for same date as NBA schedule having Utah Jazz home game there needs to be small changes.

Avs finish the season the earliest on the 13th. Everyone else is either on the 15, 16, or 17th. They'd get about a week break between the end of the season and the opening of the PO.
Det and Car play on both the final 2 days on 16 and 17.
11 clubs play on 2 of the final 3 days. The other 18 complete play once during the final 3 days of the season.
Probably won't see round 1 begin until like the 21st with 12 teams playing on the final day. Probably expect another finals that goes into June 2X again.

It seems not too different from the end of this past season. All the Eastern teams were done by this Wednesday and only Western teams played on the Thursday. Eastern playoffs then started Saturday with the Western playoffs starting Sunday.
For this upcoming season, the West is done Wednesday with only the East playing on Thursday. So I suspect the West playoffs will start Saturday, April 19 and the East playoffs on the Sunday.
They could start the PO that early depending on the matchups. But, really should give the players like 3 full days off before starting the PO. A full day or rest and then a day of travel. Allow some hype to build up.
Would take like 3 years to gradually move the start/end dates of the season if they aim to do that. End of the day, NHL season overlaps MLB PO & Opening day, NCAAF and NFL seasons, NBA season & PO, March Madness NCAABB.
The playoff start suggested would be exactly the same as this past season, but with East and West reversed.
The past year, East finished played on Wednesday and their playooffs started Saturday. West finished on Thursday and started playoffs on Sunday.
Your three full days of rest comment seems strange to me in that you then go on to describe what I would call 2 full days off. Assuming that a team finished on Wednesday, Thursday would be a full day of rest. Friday would be a travel day. And then they would play Saturday which seemed to be what you are describing despite you calling it 3 days off.
