In the current CBA, the amount paid to a player drafted in an expansion draft (or forced to move because of the team relocation) is $6 000.
With the new CBA, it will increase from $6 000 to $35 000 (+583%).
This is the first increase since Sept 16 2000.

I changed my handle to @JeanFrancoisCBA!
I wanted to change my handle for a long time now! With my last name beginning with a C, I thought it made sense to put CBA in my handle.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the best scorer in NHL history without any type of award.
Steve Thomas is the 118th best scorer in NHL history and he never received any award. Ronning, Steen and him are the only three players in the top 200.
8 names caught my attention.

A LTI conditioning loan is a maximum of 6 days or 3 games.
If the club need more time to determine if the player is fit enough to play, they can ask for 2 games extension.

Elliotte Friedman reporting on the broadcast tonight that next year's salary cap could actually be pushed well over the 5% growth limit up to as much as $95 to $97 million.
Right now per the CBA, it's set to go to $92.4 million, but with revenues so high, it makes sense to bump it higher.

Jayden Struble is very close to lose his waivers exemption. There’s 2 NHL games left to his waivers exemption.

McDavid is the 4th fastest player to reach 1000 points. He did it in 659 games. Only Gretzky (424), Lemieux (513) and Bossy (656) were able to do it faster.
He is only 27 years old. He could become the 2nd player to reach 2000 points.
