The Islanders are listed as my favourite team, but I couldn't put them both tied. Really, though, I don't have one favourite team. The Rangers and Islanders are #1 and #2 in no particular order.

Sujet: Compliance Buyout
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DoctorBreakfast</b></div><div>From an NHLPA perspective, the compliance buyout eliminates the bought out player's cap hit while still paying the player a good amount of money, even if not the full amount. If the team ends up filling out that newly-found cap space with 1-2 more players on cheaper deals, that's no lost money from an NHLPA perspective. In fact, you could argue they make more money since the bought out player is still earning two-thirds of his original contract. So the buyouts free up cap space for more jobs (roster spots) while still paying the player. The NHLPA is probably willing to take the 1/3 reduction in salary for the one player in exchange for the likelihood that the team uses that cap space to give jobs to 1-2 more players. Greater good and all that.</div></div>

I'm sure i've asked you this before, but who's your favourite team? I don't think i've ever found out.

:sharks

Thanks everyone for another great season in the GM Game. I know the playoffs are still going to happen in-game, but as the Sharks have officially missed the playoffs, I would like to thank everyone for making this game so much better. Thanks to <a href="/users/BruinsWillWin2020" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@BruinsWillWin2020</a> for helping build this team for the future. I hope we can bounce back next season. Also, thanks to <a href="/users/A_K" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@A_K</a> and everyone who helped with the standings, as well as other BOG members and all GMs for making this game so much better. And to all our fans (maybe 1 or 2 randoms fans on CF, who knows?), I'm telling you that, in the offseason, we are looking to improve the team for next season. We believe we have a group that, with changes made in the offseason, can compete for the Stanley cup next season. Thanks for all your support (if we have any fans).

Thanks for another great season, everyone! And good luck to all teams in the playoffs. :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Just cut the season to 72 Games played and shave a month off your schedule. And don't quote me that the season would need an asterisk beside it, 70 game season were the normal for a couple decades before the WHA merge.</div></div>

Definitely a possibility, but I agree with what krak said about being open minded. The NHL is looking at all possibilities. I just posted the suggestion that the players made to finish the regular season by the end of July after resuming in early July (which I assume means finish an 82-game regular season). Is it the best idea? I'm not sure. But I'm just suggesting how it could work IF the league decides to go with that idea.

(Yes, i did all that ... I have nothing else to do with my time, though, lol)

I made sure I didn't have one team playing 3 days in a row ... I also know some of the travel would be kind of weird (with teams playing in one city one day and then the next day in a city on the other side of the continent), but it could still be done. It would be possible (at least if the NBA isn't playing games in July).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>Yes, there were. Taking home ice advantage from the higher seed is a huge disadvantage and I don't see it as a fair way to award the trophy. Teams play all year to try and get home-ice advantage, and now teams like Boston and St. Louis don't get home ice against the bubble teams that barely snuck into the playoffs?

The league needs an influx of HHR after the shutdown, and having neutral site games with no fans available for PPV doesn't do a whole lot for them. The league would make more money televising games as they normally do in the playoffs than having each individual game available for PPV. Most fans are only going to buy their teams games, and that is going to get really expensive for them. How are the fans going to react to having the season shut down and then all of a sudden having to pay every time they want to watch? It will be a PR nightmare for the league. People will be crowding bars and watch parties for the games, where the league would make significantly more money from having the games on NBC/NBCSN and getting national commercials.</div></div>

There can still be a "Home" team who gets the last line change and other advantages. The home crowd only makes a big difference for a few of the teams IMO (Carolina, Vegas, NYI, etc).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>Is there any evidence about the virus that makes you optimistic about it? If the league is going to finish the season, they'll have to start it by the beginning of May. Anything after won't leave enough time for a proper offseason. Even though the rest may not be needed for these guys at first, towards the end of 2020-21, we'd see the contending teams getting worn out from playing into July and not having a full offseason.</div></div>

Well, the players suggested finishing the regular season in late July, August-September playoffs, draft/FA/etc in October and beginning 2020-21 in November ... even if that isn't enough rest, they can shorten the playoffs, finish the regular season, or whatever ... I really think the NHL will do whatever it can to award the Stanley cup this year without needing to shorten the season next season.
