New CBA ratified 2026 through 2030

Highlights:

"The sides came to a tentative agreement on the four-year extension late last month. Among other things, it includes an 84-game regular season with less exhibition play, shorter maximum contract lengths, a playoff salary cap, no mandatory dress code for players and the creation of a full-time traveling goaltender position to eliminate the practice of emergency backup goalies, or “EBUGs," from entering games.

The changes do not go into effect until the 2026-27 season."

No more EBUGs? There goes my last hope of one day getting the call. :cry:


Otherwise, 👍

I like the changes. It'll be interested to hear how the cap in the playoffs will roll out.
