During the NHL Board of Governors meeting, Commissioner Gary Bettman provided an update on the ongoing negotiations for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the NHLPA. The current CBA is set to expire in 2026. Discussions include the potential extension of the regular season from 82 to 84 games, allowing teams to compete more frequently against division rivals. This adjustment aims to boost attendance and TV ratings while accommodating concerns about player fatigue and injuries due to a longer season.
The whole process has been trending positive, and there's a general sense of optimism surrounding the ongoing negotiations with the NHLPA regarding the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The NHL is considering extending its regular season to 84 games, allowing teams to play four games against each Metropolitan Division rival, potentially increasing revenue and viewership.
