it's not much of a difference really. They would have played 38 games from Jan 19th to the end of the season. They've eliminated the All Star break so there's another 3-4 games. The season will be a week to 10 days longer so there is 4-5 games. I think it'll be much the same as the regular schedule but you'll have an extra back-to-back.
I think they're looking at July 5th for free agency.
Also Draft Day will be one day, on June 30.
