Salary Deferrals, World Junior Member Test Positive and Tortoise Trouble on the Border

It seems like it’s been ages since the excitement of the Cup Finals and the NHL draft took place. We still have no set in stone plan or date for a return in the NHL and understandably there needs to be a lot of planning involved in any kind of comeback.

  • As frustrated as fans may be, you can only imagine how players feel with all the uncertainty surrounding their near future. A strong point of discussion currently getting a lot of heat is the issue of salary deferrals. The NHL is asking for an additional 13% deferral on 2020-21 pay from players and a disagreement on the topic may potentially delay the start of the NHL season.
