As much as the league wants to finish out the regular season, it may not be possible the longer this drags on. Gary Bettman admitted that for the first time on Tuesday. The league is considering ever option it can. But a new proposal has the Flyers finishing in a different spot then if the playoffs began with the current standings.
Frank Seravalli was the first to mention this proposal. It includes rolling back the schedule to 68 games played so every team is on equal ground. It’s not the first time this has been done in hockey either.
