Report: NHLPA voting on 24-team playoff proposal

The NHL's 24-team expanded postseason plan is one step closer to being reality.

Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reported on Thursday night that the NHLPA's executive board is voting on the NHL's proposed 24-team expanded postseason, and that the results are expected to be known on Friday.

If the vote passes, there are still details like hub cities and expanded rosters that need to be ironed out before play could resume.

The NHLPA's executive board is 31 player representatives, one from each team. The full list of each team's representatives can be found here.
