Some clarification from the league on the Canucks pick: “More specifically, for Trade condition purposes, a Club will not be deemed to have qualified for the Playoffs unless or until they have progressed into the Round of 16, and ‘Playoff Games/Rounds’ will only include the games/rounds played in the Round of 16 or later. We believe this interpretation will best reflect the intentions of the parties at the time of the Trade.” [The Athletic ($)]

If the NHL returns to play, players will be tested for COVID-19 every day when games start happening. Gary Bettman estimates that 25,000-35,000 tests would be needed to get through the playoffs. [Sportsnet]
