Saturday Headlines

The panel discussed- Elliotte Friedman with some positive news on Olympic participation, trade talk on potential UFAs, plus wrist guards may become mandatory after some recent injuries.

I will post the video when available, meantime...

via Elliotte Friedman tweets,

As just mentioned on Headlines, the IOC and IIHF indicated a willingness this week to address NHL issues to get players to go to 2022 Olympics. This includes insurance costs, travel costs and ability to promote on own platforms (1/x)...

This is a significant policy change and a reversal from what had been indicated months earlier. Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told http://NHL.com that the league still wants to tie Olympic participation into CBA talks (2/x)...

But NHLPA feels it shouldn’t be a factor because the current CBA extends past the 2022 Games. (Both sides need to agree.) There are talks this week, but this is a pretty big development.
