The Toronto Maple Leafs got some good news yesterday.
Amid rumours that the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement would be extended. there was some extremely good news for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I’ll get to the good news in a minute, but first some background.
The NHL is working to enter what they are calling Phase Three of the Return to Play Initiative, and to do so, there must be agreement on things like health protocols and extending contacts, etc.
Additionally, there is talk of extending the current CBA and avoiding another labor dispute.
