Report: NHL has already picked hub cities for playoff tournament!

While some insiders say that NHL and NHLPA are making progress on where the two hub cities will be located for a potential season resumption later this summer, others believe the decision has already been made. 

It was reported that the two sides have shortened their original list of 10 hub cities down to six with Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Chicago all still in the mix, but some believe only two stand and will soon be announced as the official cities to host NHL action later this summer. 

It appears that it will be Vegas for the Eastern Conference and Vancouver for the Western Conference. 

The Edmonton Oilers have recently pushed hard to get the games, making a big push on safety and the player’s experience in their latest proposal. All players can now stay at the JW Marriott across from the arena and are also pitching an”Olympic village” style setup where players and staff can pass the time using golf simulators, basketball courts, movies and other forms of entertainment.

In the end, it might not be enough… especially if the NHL has already chosen the locations!
