Bill Daly tells CP 48-game NHL season seems “more and more” likely
TORONTO – The NHL is most likely to play a 48-game season after its new collective bargaining agreement is ratified.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Canadian Press on Monday morning that it’s looking “more and more” like that is the maximum number of games that can be fit in.
There had been some hope when the tentative deal was reached early Sunday morning that a 50-game season might also be possible.
The sides are currently working on a memorandum of understanding which will be put to a vote of their constituents.
Meantime, the league has circulated a memo to teams telling them to be ready to play by Jan. 19.
That is the date the shortened season is most likely to start.
