I mean more so now, Jack Eichel needs to ask for a trade and just bounce.
Can I say this is incredibly stupid, dangerous & shortsighted

Confirmation that the Penguins get to keep their 1st (or they can choose to keep their 1st) if they lose to Montreal. The play-in series is not the playoffs.

Keep in mind that the NHL has only approved Phase 2. They are requiring 6 feet between locker stalls. No shared food or drink. Small group non contact practice sessions on ice and off with everything sanitized in between. They are wading into this slowly and just trying to give the players a place to stay in shape at this point.
Phase 3 is training camp, which Bettman said isn't likely until Mid July. I'd expect the precautions above to remain at least until then. Assuming a 2 week camp, we are looking at August 1st as the earliest possible date for the start of games, likely later.
I appreciate the measured approach.

dunno how credible this is, plus a couple days old, but this is the kind of thing that gives me zero trust (not that i had any before) in the NHL to go the distance necessary to actually protect everyone involved. it's gonna be a sh*tshow, just a question of when.
LGP anyway - it'll be good to see Jake back, and true secret weapon ZAR should return as well

I still don't really get why you wouldn't just cancel the remainder of the season and have a normal start date, then though?

That is certainly an upside. I, for one, eagerly await people screaming out preferential treatment.

So this is shaping up that there will be no NHL hockey in Oct and Nov?
So, IF the Pens lose in the play in round to the Habs, then they are considered to have missed the playoffs, in which case the Wild get the Pens 2021 1st for the Zucker trade.
What does that mean for the draft lottery? I'm assuming the league waits for the play in round before holding the draft lottery.
Just saw the actual draft is October . . .

Looks like it.
If we think the ice is bad in May, man, it's going to be AWFUL in July/August.

Looks like it. Cup sometime in the fall. Draft in October. I'm guessing they'd start next season December.
What I figured. So, either the Pens make the playoffs or win the draft lottery, yes?

I could see:
Cup by mid-Sept. Draft Sept 30, FA Oct 4th, camps Oct 11th, Start season 21st or 28th then just compress the schedule a little bit to get things back on track.
"HUUUUUUUUURRRRRRR DUUUUUUUUURRRRRR THEY RIGGED DER LOTTERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111".
At the very earliest I'd think . . .
But no way they start the 2020-2021 season that quickly, without any real break, if even for 6-8 weeks.

I’m always on the ice in the summer and it’s not bad at all on sheets I’ve been on.
Now the one rink I frequent decided to turn off the A/C in the building last Labor Day for some odd reason... it was like something out of the ‘87 Fog Bowl, but that was a cheapskate decision I’d hope the NHL wouldn’t do.
