The current NHL CBA expires at the end of the 2020-2021 season. If there is one good thing to come from the coronavirus suspension of play, it’s that this forced the league and the players to come to the table to negotiate early as part of Return to Play. Some changes to the CBA have already been agreed upon in principle. The eventual CBA will be brought to the players for a vote.
- The proposed agreement goes through 2025-2026, with a provision for an extra year if escrow amounts are too high.
