If this is true why isn’t Las Vegas be one of the spots? The virus has a low count and there are many places you can lock down. All of the strip isn’t opening and people are questionable about going there via airlines.

Las Vegas has lower counts then AZ.

Can someone please explain to me why they need the draft to be done in June? What is the pressing need to have players drafted right away? Why not hold a draft in August? (and still continue with the playoffs in July/August)?

Because Bettman thinks everyone on the planet will be watching the NHL draft if it's in June.

I heard they want to do the draft because the contracts for the scouts expire in late June or July. If there is no other hockey going on teams might not want to renew these contracts. Beyond that I haven't heard one reason why drafting now makes any sense at all.

Beyond that I can't see how this NHL plan has any legit probability of being successful. The odds of even moving that many players via airline to these sites without someone getting infected seems remote. Then a 2 week lockdown before any meaningful games....

Im curious to see what would happen if the 24th place team would by chance win the cup, while also picking in the top 10 of the draft.

Domino Dancing

All day, all day

I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I lost hockey but I'm not sure now
I've seen you look at players too many times
The goals you want is of a different kind

Remember when we watched Gudbranson
A game like bad head lice, how our scalp would burn
A threat of no season, the goal posts were red
and where you skated you always landed on your head

(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing

I thought that when Red Wings lost I was to blame
but now I know they play a $hitty game
I've watched Datsyuk dance with Lidstrom still wanting more
Add another number of Cups to the score

(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing

When you look around the league you wonder
Do the Wings play to win
or are they just a bunch of losers?

(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing

I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I lost hockey but I'm not sure now
I hear Bettman talking, his vague remarks
and now a season is breaking it's Carter Hart

(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing

It's going to be a poop show. It's also going to be crazy to figure out conditional picks, but the league will have to manage that.

Take the top 12 teams per conference. Then have a draft lottery for the remaining 7 teams. One drawing winner gets top pick. Have Detroit have the best odds of winning like now and keep the worst teams with the best odds. Everyone else drafts based on their ranking headed into the playoffs.

Season's over. Read Dr. Fauci's interview with Peter King. So you start testing and one player is positive. So that guy is quarantined, except he's been with the entire team, so you'd have to shut down the team. If you shut down one team, you can't really have a season or playoff, so you shut it all down. That's if ONE person tests positive.

Ok, what if a trainer, coach or peripheral person tests positive? Again, you shut down the team, hence the entire thing. What are the odds that one person in who knows how many test positive? Pretty good.

There's no way they're finishing the season. People should just realize that until there's a vaccine, there's not really going to be any sports. And if they try, they'll just have to shut down at some point.

What about the rest if the teams ??
Not fair ....
The bottom 7 teams seasons are over ??? Do they get the only lottery picks ???

DO THEY GET A SHOT at the #1 pick?? Do they get an extra pick ??? There are great players in these teams we need to see play also.... Bad form NHL.

DO THEY STAY WITH THE TOP 7 PICKS IN THE DRAFT??
