It is an unprecedented lose-lose scenario for the San Jose Sharks. They could be the first professional sports team in North America to have their season severely altered as a precaution against COVID-19.

And in the process they’ll have to appeal to a spectrum of fans, players, politicians, local government, the NHL, its teams, its schedule, and even non-sports pundits.

Not only that, plans they make will likely need approvals at the highest of levels, well outside their own control.

On Monday night Santa Clara County (which has surpassed 40 cases of coronavirus) put a three-week ban on gatherings of 1,000 people or more, which begins on Wednesday. Within two hours the Sharks responded in a statement saying they would “adhere to the mandated guidelines”.

The next NHL game at SAP Center is scheduled for March 19. Two additional games also fall into the three-week window, and only five in total remain before San Jose’s season ends April 4.

Instead of bizarre playoff format changes (like the rumors we saw this week), there are several things MLB should prioritize in the coming years. For example: preventing cheating via technology, lessening elbow injuries for pitchers, and treating Minor Leaguers a little more like professionals.
