Are the skates in motion, even incrementally, toward a possible restart of the NHL season?

The New York Post reported on Thursday one of the league’s 31 teams has told its players to be prepared to report on May 15 for the start of informal workouts leading up to a training camp in June.

This follows comments from Florida Panthers president and CEO Matt Caldwell on a Re-Open Florida Industry Working Group conference call on Wednesday that, “The NHL is trying to target sometime in July [to resume the season] when we feel that players are safe and we have enough testing and we have enough ways to get back on the ice.
