Commissioner Gary Bettman said the NHL will open collective bargaining agreement talks with the players at the start of 2025 and is optimistic about getting a deal done.
The current CBA expires Sept. 15, 2026. Bettman informed the league\'s board of governors about opening negotiations during their meeting Tuesday in New York.
\"In terms of timing that\'s probably the most realistic, which is still well in advance [of its expiration],\" Bettman said. \"In terms of the relationship, we think we\'re in a good place.\"
