Felt that this is a relevant topic to bump up considering that we may be seeing a similarly scheduled season should the NHL season start in January.

I just hope the quality of hockey is considerably better than what we witnessed in 94-95 with so many players coming to camp out of playing shape. Typically coaches tend to believe that players get their skating legs and into game shape around a month or so after the start of the season.

In addition to that, does anyone recall when the NHL trade deadline was scheduled in 94-95? I'm thinking if they play between early January and late April, that they may just schedule the deadline at the mid-way point to give players and teams enough time to make adjustments.
