In a tweet published by Pierre LeBrun, the Athletic Columnist and hockey insider shared with fans some rather important news. According to his sources, the NHL and NHLPA has made progress in their plans to resume the 2019-20 season with a 24-team playoff format. While some fans may not agree (by fans, I mean me) with the format being pushed, that is a debate for another day. What we really need to know is how this playoff format affects the Anaheim Ducks.
Sources indicate the Return To Play Committee has talked throughout the weekend, NHL-NHLPA making progress on a 24-team format.
