NHL News: CBA and Return To Play Ratified, Draft Dates Set, and Two Players Opt-Out

NHLPA and Board of Governors ratify the agreement

Frank Seravalli of TSN: The NHLPA and the Board of Governors ratified the six-year CBA and Return to Play plan.

Sources say that 78.8 per cent voted of the NHLPA voted in favor – 502 to 135.

“This agreement is a meaningful step forward for the players and owners, and for our game, in a difficult and uncertain time,” NHLPA executive director Don Fehr said in a statement.

The NHL will be testing everybody and believe that they manage if there are some isolated positive tests within the bubble.
