It's gonna be weird.

I think Edmonton will be one of the selected cities, which means the Oilers team itself could be playing somewhere else for the whole playoffs.

I think we have a chance, but the border may be a complicating factor. The NHL may want to set up everyone in the US so that they don't have to worry about crossing the border again at any point. There's no guarantee what happens with that over the next several months, so it removes some uncertainty if everyone is in the same place.

If it were me, I'd look at a couple of Canadian rinks, because the virus hasn't hit Canada nearly as hard, and the ice is likely to be better. If you're playing hockey in Vegas in July and August - especially multiple games in a day - is the ice going to be able to be maintained?

But the NHL's head offices are in the US, and the rules in some of the states are a little more lax, and if I'm the PA, I'm pushing hard to do this in a state with no state tax. Any income the players make over this period, they'd be paying their taxes in that jurisdiction, so they'd do better in somewhere like Nevada or Florida. I'm not sure how the business taxes work on the NHL, especially since most revenue would come from their TV deal, but I have to think that's a consideration for them as well.

I wonder where hotels would be cheapest too. There's less people that want to come travel to Edmonton and Winnipeg than Vegas, but also a lot less occupancy available too.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
