Quick hits on the CBA: NHLPA vote, cap floor, recapture formula, trading of contracts
  • Renaud Lavoie via twitter: The NHLPA vote hasn’t been scheduled yet. Thursday is a possibility. The CBA would need to be on paper by then.
  • James Mirtle via twitter: The salary cap floor will be 15% below the midpoint, and not $16 million below the cap ceiling like it was under the old CBA.
  • James Mirtle via twitter: 100% confirmation that there will be a cap benefit recapture formula in the new CBA. It will count for all existing contracts “in excess of six years.”
