I would think it all depends on how each individuals contract reads. Basic contract, yes it would probably pick up where it left off since there is probably a claus that says he has to work for a specific number of yrs. Say he had a 3 yr contract and he just finished his 2nd yr then he still is under contract for 1 more year.

But I can see where some smart sob lawyer might have put a claus in their clients contract that whether he plays or not he becomes a free agent, which might mean some players will be FA's next year whether there is a season or not.
