Rutherford expects NHL Draft via video

The only sure thing in sports these days, it seems, is uncertainty.

No one knows whether winter leagues like the NHL and NBA will resume their 2019-20 seasons, or when spring/summer operations like Major League Baseball will be able to get underway.

If ever.

And it's not just games that are affected by pro sports, like most aspects of society, being placed on hold a month or so ago.

The NFL already has dropped its usual draft format -- the event was supposed to play out in Las Vegas April 23-25 -- and replaced it with a video set-up that will include cameras in the homes of all general managers and coaches, perhaps to assure that social-distancing guidelines are being observed.
