TSN: Bob McKenzie said that the NHL and NHLPA have agreed on almost all issues for the Hub cities, Phase 3 and 4, CBA extension, and transition rules. Things are not finalized as the players still need to vote on this, which should happen on Friday or Saturday.
Unless there are any last-minute issues, Edmonton and Toronto will be the two Hub cities.
It is also likely that players like Alexander Romanov (Canadiens), Kirill Kaprizov (Wild), and Ilya Sorokin (Islanders) won’t be eligible to play in the playoffs.
Chris Johnston of Sportsnet: No deal is done till it’s completely done but things are positive between the NHL and NHLPA completing a deal.
