NHL, NHLPA reach tentative deal on new season, but big hurdle remains - TSN.ca
NHL and NHLPA reach a tentative agreement.
Jan 3 - training camp for 24 playoff teams
Dec 31 - training camp for the non playoff teams
Jan 13- NHL 56 game season starts, no preseason games, all interdivision play
NHL Board of Gov's. has to approve.
The biggest obstacle remains the Canadaian provincial and regional health authorities.
The NHL and its seven Canadian clubs have been in detailed discussions with their provincial and regional health authorities all week, massaging and re-working protocols in an attempt to gain approval to play. That approval has not been granted, raising significant question marks about the feasibility of the division.
If those provincial health authorities cannot be satisfied, well, then the NHL and NHLPA will have to consider alternatives, including a hub city in Edmonton - or potentially moving all seven Canadian teams to the United States for the season.
Some of the details
Players can opt out for family medical reasons ,but won't be paid
> Rosters will be capped at the usual 23 men with an $81.5 million salary cap. Each team will be permitted to carry a four to six player “taxi squad,” which includes a mandatory third goaltender. All 29 (maximum) players will practice and travel with the team.
> NHL players will be paid 72 per cent of their published salaries in 2020-21. Twenty per cent will be taken off the top to repay owners for the revenue shortfall that saw players collect more than their allotted 50-50 share; then another 10 per cent of that 80 per cent remaining will be deferred, to be repaid beginning three years later in installments.
Although the trade deadline has not been cited yet, I'm guessing late March?, LeBrun said in a podcast that he doesn't feel the Canadian provincial health issues would prevent a non Canadian team player traded to a Canadian team, he'd have to follow COVID quarentine restrictions.

or like that early season Edmonton game last year that was like 7-6 or 6-5.
