It’s going to be a few months before we see real, competitive Devils hockey again. That shouldn’t and won’t stop us from looking ahead. What will the team’s lineup look like when the 2020-2021 season begins, whenever that is? [The Athletic ($)]

Some stuff to look forward to in modified CBA: Flat salary cap (unless changed, numbers were $81.5M next two years, $82.5M in 2022-23); cap on escrow (starting at 20 per cent next season, moving down after that); return to Olympics (pending agreement with IOC)...
