The Nation Notebook: NHL Drops Expansion Draft Ball, Salary Cap To Rise, ‘Bye-Week’ Questioned

The Nation Network Notebook is a regular feature that rounds up interesting news, stories, and rumours from around the NHL that don’t quite deserve their own article.

Wednesday morning’s NHL general manager meetings provided us with a wealth of interesting news about the landscape of the league moving forward. The league doesn’t have plans to make a spectacle of the Vegas expansion draft, the salary cap could rise next season, and the bye-week is being reconsidered, but without an Olympic break in mind.

So unless it changes, appears league won't make public each team's protected list in June.
