While we await the next faceoff, the Sabres and NHL face lots of questions

‘To keep pushing revenues, the league undoubtedly would like to play at least some of the remaining 189 regular-season games (the Sabres have 13 left). That would help the players too in areas such as escrow from their paychecks and next season’s salary cap. But it’s going to be tough. Unless there’s a serious push to start camps in the next two or three weeks, the sense here is the season would be over and the league is simply going to have to decide how to proceed with its tournament. There’s a decent chance we’ve seen our last Sabres games until October.’
