Daly Says NHL BOG Rejects Idea
Of Expanding Season By Two Games |
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly yesterday said that the NHL BOG has "rejected the idea of expanding the season by two games a team because of complications and timing," according to Allan Maki of the Toronto GLOBE & MAIL. Daly, in an e-mail, wrote, "I think it was a combination of it becoming too late in the scheduling process for next season to effectuate a change, as well as the fact that we weren't agreeable with the union's condition that it be changed on a one-year, trial basis only." However, Daly said the expansion "remains a possibility for the 2009-10 season." Maki notes the NHLPA will not "commit to an 84-game season on a permanent basis unless teams are guaranteed home-and-home games with every team in the league." The NHL also has "yet to agree to that." The Red Wings first suggested the 84-game concept, and NHLPA Exec Dir Paul Kelly "endorsed" the idea (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 4/17).
