Franchise NHL / Re: OPTION 1: FNHL PLAYOFFS PARALLEL LEAGUE 2020-21 (4wks)

I'm not opposed to it, so I won't block it.
Just that everyone needs to consider that it's a different season, so it will change the dynamics. Players who are UFA's will be unsigned ... which will be even more likely if the NHL has a much shorter offseason. Some will retire. Some will move on to the KHL. Some goalies will lose their starting jobs. Some skaters will get demoted to the AHL.
These are all things that we adjust to over the course of an offseason ... and even over the course of the regular season. But there will be no course for adjustment in a 3-4 week playoff. No trades. No FA signings. Just luck of the draw.
Just something to think about.
