Some additional points following today’s MOU agreement: 1) Players whose contract expires after 2020-21 are eligible to sign a contract exstension that begins in the 2021-22 season three days after the new CBA is ratified.

2) Players on teams that are not participating in 24-team format, plus players who opt-out of participating, will be eligible to sign contacts outside of North America - but will not be able to return to the #NHL for the 2020-21 season.

3) Players that sign new contracts for 2019-20 to burn year (potentially Romanov, Kaprizov, Sorokin) may not be paid a signing bonus for 2019-20 and cannot be paid 2020-21 signing bonus until November.

(They are also not eligible to participate in 24-team format.)

Some nuance to item 2) - the only players that wouldn’t be permitted to return for 2020-21 are players who opt-out. Players on the seven teams not in the tournament, then sign outside of NA, would still be eligible to return next season if offered a deal.
