Kevin Allen: NHL may need extra precaution to protect elder statesmen Some GMs and coaches more at risk for Covid-19 than players

Why should players have to be sequestered. The older people if they are worried should sequester themselves.

Excellent point made here Kevin, more to think about. There are way to many moving parts to pull the 19/20 season together now. Dollars are being lost and more could be with a single overlook.
Let’s move forward with the draft and putting next season in order. Besides Marchand could eliminate a team in one game by licking another player.

First off, IF the players aren't sequestered someone will catch COVID-19 and pass it on to the team. And while hopefully all the healthy athletes will survive a bunch of them aren't going to be in any condition to play Stanley Cup Playoff Hockey. SO it'll screw up the playoffs.

Secondly, once there is an NHL outbreak of players not sequestered somebody is going to be around someone older and (frank)ING KILL THEM!

And that's really why Pandemics SUCK.

Which is not to say you couldn't have the rest of the world sequester themselves and have the hockey players do whatever they felt like.... but it seems a tad impractical.
