HARTFORD, Conn. - Their stalls at the XL Center are not particularly close, located on different sides of the Connecticut Whale's dressing room. But former Ranger teammates Sean Avery and Wade Redden are linked otherwise, two veteran players with little to no hope of returning to the NHL under their current contracts, stashed in the minor leagues because of salary-cap and/or performance concerns. And it's quite likely the mechanism keeping them in the American Hockey League -- re-entry waivers - will be on the table when the NHL and its players association begin working toward a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expires after this season.
Rob Rossi, in his fourth season covering the Penguins, shares some of the scenes unique to a traveling beat reporter. If the NHL collective bargaining agreement allowed for it, the Penguins would be wise to sign Jackson Cooke to a letter of intent. The little guy has the look of a future NHL regular.
Online dispute resolution (ODR) has transcended the need for parties to disputes to meet face-to-face. Thus, it provides a solution to concerns about arbitration's efficiency and cost. This article discusses ODR processes and how some of them could be used by the National Hockey League (NHL) to resolve salary disputes between eligible players and clubs. Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the NHL and the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA), the NHL uses salary arbitration to resolve disputes with players who fall into the category of restricted free agents. In 2006, out of 67 salary disputes with restricted free agents, nearly 80% were settled before the hearing. Even if the revered salary arbitration system of the NHL is so successful, ta...
The puck drops Thursday night on the 2011-12 NHL season, the last under a collective bargaining agreement forged from the cancellation of the 2004-05 season, with the Stanley Cup champion Bruins hosting the Flyers. The game marks the return of former Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr, 39, to the league after three seasons in the KHL as the Czech superstar joins the reconstituted Flyers.
Negotiators for the NHL and the NHL Players Association yesterday reached an agreement in principle on a new collective bargaining agreement, bringing a tentative end to a labor dispute that lasted 301 days. What the two sides hope is that disgruntled fans don't take that long to find their way back into the league's 30 arenas.
The Devils remained hopeful as a silent Saturday passed without word from the NHL on whether the league will approve the new contract left wing Ilya Kovalchuk signed with the team Friday. The collective bargaining agreement says the NHL has up to five days to review the contract and approve or reject. It appears unlikely the league will announce a decision before Monday.
Hall of Fame: Cammi Granato and Angela James became the first women elected to be enshrined in Toronto. Along with former NHL All-Star Dino Ciccarelli, Granato and James will go in as part of the players category during an induction ceremony in November. Longtime Red Wings executive Jimmy Devellano and the late Daryl (Doc) Seaman -- a founding owner of the Calgary Flames -- were elected as builders. NHL: The NHL Players' Association is extending its current collective bargaining agreement with the league through the 2011-12 season. The CBA was originally set to expire after the upcoming season, but the players' association exercised its right to extend it for a seventh year.
The two collective bargaining agreement-mandated off-days NHL players received Monday and today were not enough time for defenseman Sergei Gonchar to spend Christmas with friends and family in St. Petersburg, Russia. Instead, Gonchar, along with his wife, daughter and teammate Evgeni Malkin, enjoyed the holiday break in the warmth of Miami.
NEW YORK - If the NHL season is to begin on time, it will have to be with a new collective bargaining agreement in place - not with replacement players. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said Wednesday that the season won't start in October if a new agreement hasn't been reached with the union, but left open the possibility that replacement players would be considered if no deal is struck.
