rebusrankin Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I could see things starting in the fall (football) but that may be wishful thinking. I could see the NBA holding off until Christmas and shortening the season.Hockey could follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 It will be interesting to see how much trump pushes them. He was talking about a tax incentive to get fans to buy tickets. And interesting to see what the PA’s say too. I know the nhl players have been debating whether to take their final paycheque because they’re going to get escrowed to death next year. So the PA is likely as determined to have the playoffs as the league, to generate revenue they get a piece of. But If they come back too early and a team ends up having the virus hit, then what?

JCon Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 He was always going to sign here despite those that said he wasn't. Glad they didn't burn a year of his entry level deal trying to push him earlier. Same with Heinola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it was 'always' with him 1 year away from UFA and with him saying how he wanted an NCAA championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, always. He said he was coming. He's already won two championships and might have won a third. It's only people making stuff up that suggested he may not. blue_gold_84, Goalie and The Unknown Poster 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Winnipeg really would be an idea place for the NHL to play games. I could see Vegas too although as much as players like Vegas, its awfully hot in the summer months when they'd be playing. Im not sure I can believe there will be no gatherings til fall 2021 but this year, almost surely sports returns in front of no fans til at least fall this year. The NHL will have to play empty arena games. But they'll want to because the article above mentioned a $1 billion shortfall in the budget. Imagine what those escrow cheques will look like. Like, really, i wonder if the PA will negotiate a salary reduction because the cap for the next couple of seasons is going to be much lower than the escrow will be massive. And players hate the escrow for some reason. But the NHL needs that TV money. They could also operate in Florida right now due to the "WWE is essential" mandate. Which might be part of the plan between Trump and the Florida governor, to provide a soft landing spot if he can convince a sports league to open. Certainly for MLB Edited April 14, 2020 by The Unknown Poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
