NHL, PA discuss starting season earlier | TSN
The National Hockey League and NHLPA have had very preliminary discussions on what a new calendar could look like, including starting the regular season earlier, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
If happening won't be in effect until the next CBA. Possible changes.
Start season first week in October.
Award cup in early June
Reduce pre season to 4 games.
Increase regular season to 84 games.
I'm not opposed to either of these changes. Late June to July 1 is too compressed right now.
