Wilderness Walk: NHL to resume season in July?

Let’s go over some news and notes:

- You’ll be shocked to know that Dean “Creed” Evason would be really happy to remain the Wild’s head coach next season. [NHL]

- Speaking of Evason, how is he handling this global pandemic? Well, he’s apparently doing lots of yoga. [Wild]

- Zach Parise is in full-on dad mode while quarantining.

Off the trail...

- Nothing is set in stone, but it sounds like the NHL is planning (or at least hoping) to resume the season in July. [Miami Herald]

- If hockey does come back this summer, it doesn’t sound like the NHL will play remaining games at a neutral site. Instead, they could use several arenas for the restart — including Xcel Energy Center. [ESPN]

- Alex Ovechkin played NHL 20 with Wayne Gretzky yesterday, and it was pretty fantastic.
