              This could have major implications for two big reasons I can think of:

              1 - Imagine being a team who dealt assets for rentals, like the Oilers. If the season and playoffs are cancelled, that's gonna leave a real sour taste.
              2 - You also don't get to participate in the draft lottery if you "made the playoffs" - even if you don't actually get to compete?

              Could Ottawa's big picks be in jeopardy?
