NHL Schedule to be Released

Apparently David Poile responded to a question today that the schedule will be released on Thursday (which is the same relative date that it was released last year).

Of course, it won't mean much if the League and its players do not agree on a new CBA.  Otherwise, it will be as useful as this:

When I posted that in July 2005 I noted "Laviolette's back for Opening Night! Here's a look at this
year's schedule.  Opening Night is 93 days away...I hope."

Of course, none of those games were ever played.
