Late Monday afternoon word trickled out that the NHL and the NHLPA had agreed on the protocols surrounding the sport’s Return to Play initiative for the next two phases as well as an extension to the current CBA. This agreement will cover how teams handle the return to full training camps (Phase III) and then the actual games themselves (Phase IV). We now wait on the for the NHL’s Board of Governors, the NHLPA Executive Committee, and the NHLPA to approve the agreement. That should hopefully be done by the end of the week. In the Era of Bettman the two sides finally managed to agree to a new CBA without a work stoppage.
