Here's today's Insider Trading: https://www.tsn.ca/video/~2408936. In it, they discuss the possible agenda for next week's GMs Meeting.

There is an expectation that they'll discuss some way of imposing a team salary cap for the playoffs. I'm not sure if this is something they could impose this year, or if it would only start in the future.

In fallout from the Dadonov situation, they'll likely look into ensuring players' no-trade lists will be registered with the league and/or PA going forward. This seems like a no-brainer all around.

Also, despite many teams playing in half-empty (or less) buildings this year, revenue increases are expected to be high enough that they're still expecting the cap to increase by $1 million. If this happens, it's good news for the Flames. Combined with the end of Brouwer's buyout, it would give the Flames an extra $2.5 million to work with this summer without doing anything else.
