Juraj Kolnik said that he'd play if there was a next season, but later said that he didn't understand the question, since English isn't his first language.
Personally, I don't see this ending well for the league or the PA. I think there WILL be replacement players, and we'll see a fair amount of newer NHL stars (like the Juraj Kolnik's) lighting it up with the best that the AHL has to offer.
I think it's safe to say that we won't be seeing NHL hockey this year or next year.
