The NHL and NHL Players’ Association have tentative agreements in place to extend the CBA through 2025-26, and resuming the 2019-20 season. The good news for Anaheim Ducks fans is that this means the NHL will go without a work stoppage for at least 14 seasons.
Both are pending ratification from the NHL Board of Governors and NHLPA. With the 2004-05 season completely wiped out, and 2012-13 shortened to 48 games, it’s a good sign that the league won’t have any labor disruptions for an extended period.
Under the new deal, players are expected to sign-off on a deferral of 10% of next season’s salary, with another 20% going to the cap escrow.
