Just see what you can make out of the official statement; Suspended./ Cancelled.

IF they are lucky, very lucky it will be 3-4 weeks. But what if the virus situation is worse in 4 weeks? They may not come back at all this year!

Totally possible. I don’t want to watch hockey in the summer myself. In this event do the Canucks keep the pick dealt to Tampa to New Jersey?

Yeah, there will be no NHL this year...

One of the Flames owners, Ken King, a Bountiful favourite, was extinguished a couple of days ago.

NHL rosters will be frozen at 5 p.m. ET today -- hence some of the AHL call-up/assignment activity we've seen before that takes effect.

Ass-u-me?

Whoa there big fella

European players have been told they can go home.

Assuming of course that their respective home countries let them in....

NHLers as well.

Done!
A few days late, but it’s all good.

Nice to see we’re fighting WWIII against another species for a change, an insidious little bastard.
Stay safe and fight the good fight.

If it true that there will probably be no NHL championship awarded for this year, 19/20, will there be a draft? I guess there cannot but that will
make things very complicated in regards to placement of players. Not really fair to the young guys not to have a draft, particularly the ones
that might and in most cases, would be drafted next season.

Now if they figured out a way to have a draft this year by conference calls instead of interviews, etc. Na! I don't see it. Not to mention that
the selection process for teams would have to roll every team's point total to where they were at 68 points.
If they cannot hold one, think of the extra riches for 2021.
I guess that first wouldn't be ours, or would it?

There will be a draft. Virtual maybe, abut a draft nonetheless

Indubitably.
