The DFO Rundown Ep. 336 – What changes could the next CBA bring?

Frank is back from the GM Meetings and has some notes on what was discussed as some of the most influential minds in hockey got together. The league and the players association are getting close to having to negotiate a new CBA and that means each side is starting to have internal discussions about what they could want.

That’s where the guys started today on the podcast and it led to some interesting debates about whether or not they could change the term limits for player contracts, how LTIR could change, and other things that could be changed in the next CBA.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys who their quarter-way Jack Adams winner would be and how many career points Connor McDavid will finish with when all is said and done.

After that, they talked a little bit more about McDavid’s upcoming milestone: he is closing in on 1000 career points. Frank talked about a few players in the 1,000-point club who were maybe a little underappreciated.

They wrapped up the show by talking about the next Hockey Hall of Fame class and who are the locks to get in. They debated Carey Price, Joe Thornton, Duncan Keith, Ryan Getzlaf, and Duncan Keith and their chances of getting in.
