16 of 302 NBA players test positive on initial mandatory test. NHL players are the same. Young, rich, and in their mind, invincible. Letting these guys in without a 100% bubble is not a good idea.

Just Say No

I see a lot of these comments here and on twitter. I have not seen any suggestion that the NHL is looking to do an imperfect bubble where there's a bunch of people going in and out. That's a recipe for disaster and there's too much money at stake.

Has there been any talk anywhere about letting families come in to the bubble, never mind letting them come and go from it? I haven't seen it anywhere, other than that moron Matt Wolf using families of NHLers visiting Banff as an excuse for the ridiculous video that Kenney shared.

Players testing positive are self-isolating and recovering before they're brought in to the bubble. They aren't going to let those guys practice with each other until they're healthy. I believe the plan is to have training camps for two weeks starting July 8th. That will mean everyone will be tested, and then self-isolate in their home city (or designated surrogate in the case of Calgary). After that, they'll fly together to the hub city with everyone with a clean bill of health and being tested regularly. If someone is sick, they stay home until they're well enough to come to the hub.

I expect that the league will put some measures in place to protect the bubble. Less housekeeping at the hotel, food delivery managed carefully. Team staff under the same rules as the players. Small number of medical staff provided by host team and under similar precautions. No families, or if they have to come, they can't leave the bubble (which is a pretty good reason not to bring family unless it's critical). It will be important to set ground rules for players - leave the bubble, and you have to self-isolate for two weeks, which means no playing or practicing or even hanging out with your team.

If they do this, I don't see there being a huge amount of risk here either to the NHL, or to the hub city. I'm pretty agnostic about actually winning it - I think the experience as a fan isn't going to be massively different if the Oilers are playing in an empty Rogers Place, or an empty Air Canada Center (did it get re-named?). I don't own a downtown hotel or restaurant, so my fortunes don't change if the city wins it, and I doubt there's a ton of trickle down benefit to winning the hub. I don't think COVID-era Edmonton is going to get a swell of tourists because of this.

But I also don't see a massive risk either. 1000 visitors is small potatoes really, and as long as they're serious about maintaining the bubble (which they sure as hell should be), then the risk of an NHLer causing an outbreak in Edmonton is really low.

"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
