The NHL released a statement today that they will not be using their option to reopen the Collective Bargaining Agreement and are willing to allow it to run its course to the end of the 2021-22 season. The Players Association has until September 15th to exercise their option to renegotiate.

The Executive of the National Hockey League Players Association will meet in Chicago next week to discuss their next possible move when it comes to the league's collective bargaining agreement. Should they opt out, the two sides would have until September, 2020 to reach an agreement, or a lockout will happen.
