Over the last 2 days, I’ve been speaking with players from around the NHL who are quite concerned about a return to play. I’m going to paraphrase some of those sentiments over a few tweets here. I want to stress every player I spoke with requested anonymity for obv reasons 1/

One player said a majority of the players do not want to return to play this summer. Estimated 75%. Though they’re concerned with financial pitfalls of that decision, they’re more concerned about risking contracting the virus/serious injury before cramming in the 2021 season 2/

Another player said that calls with the NHLPA have been “a joke” and that they have only revolved around the financial situation. 3/

Another player shared the following opinion after acknowledging that players will likely vote yes to the eventual proposal that gets brought to them 4/

All players I spoke with are frustrated about being kept largely in the dark about how they’ll safely be able to resume play. 5/5
