With the border restrictions still in place and even more after the further measures in place, I wonder how much thought is going into having the three Canadian play among themselves again as such as they did for the middle part of the season last year?

I do agree that if they did play among themselves for say the first 12 games of the season at home there would be competitive balance issues at some point of the equation. Especially if one of them gets off to a bad start or good start. In 12 games say a team had 20-25 points how would you fairly integrate them back into the overall standings. I agree it may not be ideal but to start things off it may be better than having the team based out of the US again. I am sure the players and coaches would rather spend their nights in their owns beds.
