While the Return to Play plan was agreed upon by the NHL and NHLPA and while we are getting closer to playing hockey than ever before, there are still kinks to iron out.
Next week the NHL will begin phase two of the Return to Play plan which will allow up to six skaters at a time in practice facilities. But when we fast forward to the time that the games will actually be played, just how many players will be moving with the team? That has yet to be decided technically.
The initial suggestion was roughly about 28 skaters and unlimited goalies, which had teams with serious goalie depth salivating at the idea of never having to play a tired goalie ever again.
