Gary Bettman May Restore His Reputation With This One Move
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's relationship with the NHLPA has been tumultuous during his three-decade tenure. Three lockouts and various TV deals have shaped their history, with mixed results.
The most recent obstacle for the NHL was the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022. The pandemic significantly impacted the league's finances, leading to a reduced salary cap of $1,000,000 per year. This has presented challenges for teams in cap compliance and forced creative maneuvers to facilitate trades.
In a recent interview with SiriusXM NHL, Bettman revealed plans to discuss the return of the World Cup and Winter Olympics returning in 2026 with the NHLPA.
Marchand and Bergeron took place on the Team Canada's roster in the last World Cup of Hockey, and it was beautiful:
The NHL's participation in the Olympics is expected to resume, allowing players from NHL organizations to compete. However, the overlap between the Olympics and the NHL season will pose logistical challenges for teams.
