NHL’s target date for next season: New Year’s Day
The NHL and NHLPA are planning for a new target date of January 1 to begin the 2021 season. The new target doesn’t guarantee the season will begin on New Year’s Day but does replace the league’s initial date of December 1.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said during the Stanley Cup Final that predicting next season’s start date will be “nothing more than speculation,” though he added he prefers the season doesn’t carry into next summer. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly has also said numerous times that the league intends to play a full 82-game schedule next season.
So… how about we hold our NHLFB draft on New Year’s Eve?
