It’ll be interesting because with Vegas already reopening there will be a fair number of Covid cases there by the time this all gets going (if it gets going).

To be fair, the numbers in Nevada have never been particularly bad, and I believe they have less cases than Alberta right now. They're headed in to their low tourist season anyhow (because it's miserably hot there in the summer) and no one can go there from out of country, so even though it's reopen, it's not likely to be jam-packed. If the NHL is able to maintain their bubble, then they'll be alright.

My biggest concern there would be around whether they can maintain their ice with two games a day in +50 Celsius heat. At least it's dry there. It's tougher in humid areas, because the humidity wreaks havoc. That could be an issue even in Toronto mid-summer.

Nevada has 2,671 active cases with a population of 3M. 71% of their cases are in the region Las Vegas is in. So definitely more active than AB. Not terrible, but more and the business is ramping up now with more things opening every day. Can be sure there will be lots of fun being had with crowds by July.

Bubble maintaining will be and interesting problem to solve. Still need to eat, still need to be entertained. I don't think avoiding all overlap with the general population is possible.

I stand corrected. Was looking at the wrong spot apparently!

Saw a point by Jim Matheson that makes a lot of sense (I know, crazy, eh?) He pointed out that Sportsnet is based in Toronto which might weigh in to the decision. That makes a ton of sense. Most of the top talent they'd be using on the broadcasts are there as well, so they wouldn't have to put people up for 2-3 months.

It does make sense that Sportsnet (and NBC) would be in Bettman's ear about where they want the games to be played.

For sure. There is no denying the appeal of Toronto, and Vegas as well from the NHL/player/media perspective. The only argument for other places really is how surrounded the NHL bubble would be with COVID-19 and maybe ice quality. I think the NHL hasn't cared about ice quality for a very long time though.
