Deputy commissioner Bill Daly says the NHL remains 'flexible' when it comes to deciding when and how the 2020-21 season will be played.

The NHL’s hub-city playoff format this summer has made hockey’s return to play a resounding success so far this summer, and while there’s still plenty of bubble hockey left to be played, next season is already front-of-mind for many.

“I don’t want to rule out anything because I think there are so many alternatives and possibilities and ways this might play out,” he explained. “I can’t tell you we’ve thought necessarily about a divisional bubble. I don’t think our current format for bubbles would work for the regular season, particularly because our objective is to play a full season and I’m not sure how we do that in the format we’re currently utilizing.

“We would love to be in a position where we could open on Dec. 1 to full buildings in every one of our markets. That may or may not be possible and we don’t control that, so you have to adjust to that reality,” said Daly. “That adjustment could take a variety of forms. It could be pushing back the start of the season until that might be possible, or it might be opening to partial buildings in either all the markets or a portion of the markets.

Remember when Mark Scheifele was worried that his foot injury would sideline him for six months? Well, that won't matter since it will be at least six months before his team will even play again!

Gotta be flexible, just don't copy the mlb...

Are the owners 'flexible'?
