JCon Posted December 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) It comes down to whether or not the players can live within a bubble. It doesn't have to be the same as the summer bubble but one that keeps contacts way down. I'm sure that these players will be able to buy their way up the vaccine list outside of Canada.

bustamente Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Sounds like the NHL will try to start in mid January and have either a 52 or 56 game schedule, border will probably still be closed so it looks like the floated idea of a Canadian division will apply, now to figure out how to get the players here, length of quarantine, and training camp, but before they can do all of that they have to find out if the Government will let them play at Bell MTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCon Posted December 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Just now, bustamente said: Starting in January lets the Juniors teams have the spotlight over the holidays and maybe teams will release players they may not of wanted to (Lafreniere) Starting in mid-January has nothing to do with juniors. They don't even have a plan or agreement yet. Mid-January is the earliest they could get this going. They don't care about juniors in the least.

JCon Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 That's too bad, really. I understand why they did it but a better solution must be out there. So, Canada could walk through the round robin and then be forced to play the US, Russia or Sweden in the first round of the playoffs? Geez, I can't seem to remember any of the seeding stuff from Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
