Yeah, just saying it's a possibility (and the 2020-21 season might start late in junior leagues, too), and if they can do this starting a month early, then they have more time off ... also, they might have an extra half month if the season is delayed until mid-November. Then they remove the all-star weekend (which, in my opinion, is a total unorganized joke, anyway), remove the bye week, and give teams schedules that are a little bit busier, and if the season's done by the end of June, they can get back to normal scheduling for future seasons. And also, for the Stanley cup to be awarded, they don't need to play all 82 games and do 4 rounds of the playoffs with best-of-7 series ... if they have time, they will, but if they don't, they can look at other ways to finish the season. I'm not ruling out the possibility of the season being cancelled, I just think they can get creative here.

Just because the players suggested it doesn't mean that it will happen. The draft also can't happen in October, especially since most eligible prospects will have resumed play by that point. The injury risks of players playing essentially for basically 13 straight months with only one month off is going to be a nightmare.
Looking at the Standings this is what I'd do;
In the East no contender has played more than 70 games, but Flo, Pit, Phi, Was all have played 69 games and Car and NYI have played 68 games. You have Was V. Phi (to decide who wins the Division) and you have NYI V. Car play a double header to decide the Wild Card spot. I guess Pit V. Flo would be pointless to the Standings. Clb only makes the playoffs if the NYI lose both games.
In the West no contender has played more than 71 games; Dal, Nas, Min, Van all have played 69 games and Col and Cal have played 70 games. You have Col V. Cal (if Col wins they can leapfrog STL) for 1 game and have Min, Van and Nash all play against each other (Min V. Van, Min V. Nash, Van V. Nash) to decide the Final Standings. Pointless to force Dal to play a game, their spot will not change. Winnipeg and Cal, both holding onto playoff spots right now but both can fail to make the playoffs.
Have no travel and play the games at neutral arenas so the Playoff games can be played every night if needed.
