from Chris Johnston of Sportsnet,
Much of the NHL’s adjusted critical dates calendar is still considered tentative, but the potential look the league released Friday night as part of its return-to-play package certainly painted a chaotic picture about how it intends to finish the 2019-20 season and transition to 2020-21 in an expedited fashion.
Here’s a sampling of how it might look (** – denotes tentative date):
• July 13: Training camps open
• July 26: Teams travel to hub cities
• July 28-30: Exhibition games
• Aug. 1: Stanley Cup Qualifiers begin
• **Aug. 10: Phase 2 of NHL draft lottery
• Aug. 11: Round 1 begins
• **Aug. 25: Round 2 begins
• **Sept. 8: Conference finals begin
