What GMs have been discussing, including limiting contract lengths further: “You’ll recall in 2013, term limits were brought in. Seven years if you’re signing someone else’s player, eight years for your own player. There’s a desire, at the GM level anyways, to see that pushed back even further. During that 2013 negotiation, the NHL pushed for five years. I’m not sure that’s a top priority issue for the league itself, but the GMs certainly would like it, and when those CBA negotiations start in January, it will be an interesting one to watch.” [TSN]
