What happens if CME fails to deliver Silver in March?

If COMEX is unable to meet physical silver delivery and resorts to cash settlement or rule changes, how does that historically affect:

1. Spot silver price formation,

2. LBMA-linked ETFs like SLV, and

3. The spread between physical premiums and paper instruments?

Is there a plausible scenario where physical silver rises while SLV underperforms or even falls due to confidence or redemption constraints?
