The NHLPA has rejected the NHL's verbal proposal to extend the current collective agreement for three years in exchange for Olympic participation. "In the short meetings we had with the PA it was pretty clear everyone was still a little uncomfortable with continuing the CBA for three more years," said New York Rangers PA team representative Derek Stepan.
