A possibility that’s been thrown around by league executives is moving the draft tentatively scheduled to be held this summer in Montreal to early December.

At this point, everything’s on the table and all options have to be considered.

Why would anybody even consider this move?

“You can’t draft what you can’t see,” one league insider told Postmedia.

Again, this is concept and not a fact, but if you think about it a bit, the possibility makes a lot of sense.

The Western Hockey League announced Tuesday it’s officially given up hope of starting its season on Jan. 8. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League started and eventually moved into a bubble in Quebec City because so many of its teams were located in red zones.
