The NHL is trying to hold the virtual draft in early June. They can force the issue and it's probably going to fly.(after objections from GM's) They're discussing how to do lottery & draft order. There have been ideas floated about some kind of regular season finale, or just going directly to playoffs with whomever is in position now. It has to be signed off on by NHLPA. They're also trying to have it (possibly) 4 sites (one from each division) that can accommodate all teams housing/practices etc. Nothing has been settled but an announcement may come soon. At least on the draft. The arenas will be pretty much empty for now. Still being hammered out
