we’ll see I guess, the league gets this kind of thing wrong more often than not imho lol.
I was pretty frustrated with so many days between some playoff games – often 3 days (not between series, between games).
I get there are scheduling conflicts and the like, but that seems to add a lot of time to this year’s schedule.
Noticed it more this year than previous playoffs.
Allan Walsh talked about older players waiting until mid-season to sign and become basically playoff rentals and avoid full seasons. Seems plausible.

I highly doubt they’ll start that early, I could be wrong but they’ll probably start it early enough just to incorporate the extra games, the league has been very stubborn about this.
They already said max 4 pre-season games and season to start in September…. how late in September TBD.
I don’t think they want the season to end as late/later than this year.

Excessive greed might end up hurting them more long term … look at MLB baseball (no salary cap), a lot of fans got tired of always watching the rich market teams (ie. Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, etc) in the World Series.
The sport has also been declining because older fans are slowly dying and the next generations don’t even watch it.osti de quotes de tabarnak…

“if they’re starting the season earlier and they’re adding games, then the cup won’t be won much earlier… lol” – Pat
Yeah, awarding the Cup in June is pure madness.
I’m sure a lot of the non Cup finalist fans don’t care by then.true, and part of the issue is that by the time there are 2 teams that reach the cup final, they’re so banged up that it obviously affects the play and the entertainment value… making the season longer will only accentuate this.

I’m sure a lot of the non Cup finalist fans don’t care by then.If you are starting 2-3 weeks earlier and add 2 games, the season will be longer in duration, but will not be extended further into the summer…
(Unless they add stupid pre-playoff play-in games).
