Happy Weekend Avs Nation - we get to start things off with some great news. Friday evening, news broke that the NHL and NHLPA had come to a tentative agreement to start the 2021 season.
From Bill Daly:
“We have a tentative Agreement with the Players’ Association on plans for the 2020/21 NHL Season. The agreement is subject to approval by both of our respective constituencies.’’
Both sides still have to vote on the deal, but the crux of the agreement is that the league will play 56 games beginning on January 13. Training camp would officially begin January 3rd with no preason games being played.
