DISCUSSION: FNHL Season pauses, maybe cancelled- What can we do?

[PigsRule]

This is an open discussion thread to talk about the impact of the NHL season currently put on hold.

To get the discussion going, here are some possible outcomes given possible NHL decisions re 2019-20 NHL season:

1) NHL pauses regular season and resumes regular play per existing matches —- RECOMMENDATION: FNHL to resume FNHL playoffs with updated calendar dates.

2) If the NHL decides to cancel the remainder of the season... RECOMMENDATION: FNHL will keep FNHL regular season results, cancel FNHL playoffs & carry over 2019-20 prize pool to 2020-21 FNHL; FNHL draft contingent on NHL holding a draft with weighted lottery to determine draft position for the 8 remaining playoff teams.

3) If NHL decides to eliminate the remainder of its regular season and begin NHL playoffs when play resumes, FNHL playoffs will be cancelled and prize pool carried over to 2020-21 season.

The points above are for discussion and not firm decisions.
Please feel free to post your thoughts.

Man, I'm taking a well deserved VACATION! :-)

OH sh!T, everything's shut down or a contamination zone. Vacation cancelled. I'm back.

Sounds like the NHL expects to resume play in a few weeks once infection rates slow or plateau. I'm hoping it picks up right where it left off so we can crown a FNHL Champion for 2019-20.

It's a good plan guys.

I'm just sad to see hockey grind to a halt but it's understandable and expected.

That is a fair plan.

There is also the possibility the NHL resumes play with a revised schedule but the same number of games over the course of what should be 3.5 weeks. First, we should ensure the remaining 1/2 week is balanced in a similar manner to what should have been the balance of this current week. Also, it will be important to determine if Fantrax can similarly account for and capture the future revised schedule and merge the new dates into the current Franchise NHL playoff set-up.

It really is a wait and see approach given how new this process is for all of us.

The playoffs couldn't continue without . I think half of my team was sick last week.

I'll buy that!

I'm good with the plan PR posted. We'll play it by ear. The pause can last several weeks or several months.
If you dig back to the 2003 SARS outbreak in Toronto, that lasted 6-12mths. I won't hold my breath but still remain somewhat hopeful the virus will be contained with the initiatives undertaken over the past couple of days.
