So the Penguins just released the following statement

The NHL just pushed back training camp dates to August (perhaps because of this).
Talking to people around the hockey world last night and this morning, it sounds like the league's target date to open NHL camps is now being pushed from mid-July to Aug. 1.

So what happens when another player tests positive during training camp? It is likely to happen. What happens if it is the Stanley Cup Final? Given the fact all major metropolitan areas in the United States are having massive protests logic dictates there being a second wave on the horizon. I'm not trying to be negative, but I just can't see how they can navigate the Covid situation the way they'll have to. They need everything to go right and if you haven't noticed the year is 2020 and that isn't how it goes.
Thanks for reading!
