The NHL and NHLPA have ratified a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the Return to Play format has been finalized, NHL training camps begin this coming Monday, July 13th, and NHL hockey is due to return officially on August 1st. All of this activity has rekindled everyone’s interest in hockey and NHL GM’s are beginning to provide information on their teams as the beginning of training camp is right around the corner. Tampa Bay Lightning General Manager Julien BriseBois talked to the media this morning in a zoom conference call about the CBA negotiation, the Return to Play negotiation (and his opinion on the format), the Lightning’s roster situation, and some injury news.
