Over the last 27 years, there have been 3 lockouts and 1 strike, causing the NHL to cancel 152 games including an entire dang season in 2004.
According to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun, the NHL must decide by September 1 and the NHLPA must decide by September 15 if they will opt-out of the current CBA for 2020.
NHLPA Executive Board plus other players to meet Wednesday in Chicago for a CBA update discussion. Players have until Sept. 15 to decide on the CBA opt-out for 2020. The NHL has until Sunday to make the same decision. I would expect an announcement from the NHL by end of weekend
