Sources: The #NHL and #NHLPA have agreed to a rolling implementation schedule for CBA changes.

Among them: the new playoff salary cap system will come into effect *this season* for the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs.

As expected, the #NHL’s Board of Governors and the #NHLPA’s full membership have ratified a four-year extension to the CBA, bringing unprecedented labor peace to hockey through 2029-30.

The 84-game regular season and other changes begin in 2026-27.

Sources: #NHL and #NHLPA preparing to announce the framework of a new CBA on Friday ahead of #NHLDraft, an unprecedented early extension.

Details from Los Angeles on the new 84-game regular season, shortened preseason, revenue splits and dress code:

In Los Angeles, where #NHL Board of Governors meeting will be wrapping up in a bit.

Big topic here and also in Las Vegas, where the #NHLPA Executive Board is concurrently meeting, is update on Collective Bargaining Agreement talks.

As the #NHL and #NHLPA have begun CBA negotiations, with changing CHL/NCAA landscape, is it time to change from an 18-year-old, age-based Draft to a system where players declare themselves eligible for the Draft at their own pace?

I presented a case and format off the cuff today https://x.com/dailyfaceoff/s…
