from Chris Johnston of Sportsnet,
It is the dream of every NHL fan, player, media member and executive. The hope of arena employees, bar owners, sponsors, television partners and about a million other people who are directly or indirectly tied to the sport:
Labour peace in the world’s best hockey league.
Can you imagine?
While it’s way too soon to handicap how likely it is that the dream becomes reality, the fact there’s ongoing dialogue between the NHL and NHL Players’ Association is at least a start.
As far as we can tell, they’ve already agreed that the best time to hold another World Cup is September 2020 — when the current CBA may expire, pending a decision on the reopener — and so they are treading into discussions about how or if they can avoid having that happen in order to stage another international hockey tournament in which they split the profits.
