I mean get on with your summer. And then at night if the Oilers are still in it, you get to watch some hockey at the beach or whatever I know it'll never happen, but there could be benefits to starting the season a couple of months later. No competition with MLB playoffs and the NFL to start the season, no NBA playoffs at the end of the season. You run it Jan-Sep.

With baseball, they have a start time, and unless there are extenuating circumstances, they stick to it. To the minute. Want to have all your ceremonies and banner raisings and whatever else? Awesome - have it done before the stated "puck drop" time.

I don't know if you'd want to play a lot of hockey in Vegas and Dallas and Florida and Utah in July and August. Some of those places have a hard enough time with the ice in Winter!
