While Santa was delivering goodies across the globe, the NHL and NHLPA formalized some CBA exemptions designed to give teams COVID roster relief. Here are the highlights…
GOALTENDERS: Teams will be allowed to add an additional goalie when two regulars are not available. This is in place for the rest of the season
EMERGENCY CAP EXEMPTION: From here on in, teams in danger of dressing fewer than two goalies, six defencemen or 12 forwards for a game will be able to make emergency recalls. The cap hit of any such player cannot exceed $1-million.
