EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement are progressing well, though there is no timeline on reaching a deal, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Marty Walsh said Wednesday.
Bettman, at his annual state of the league address prior to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, said the sides are “having very constructive, professional, cordial dialogue.” Talks did not begin until April, and there is still quite some time until the current CBA expires in September 2026.
“I don’t have an announcement to make today that we have a deal, but we have more than a year to go and I think we’re in really good shape, having really good discussions,” Bettman said. “That’s a testament to Marty Walsh and Ron Hainsey and people at the Players’ Association who have been working tirelessly with us.”
Walsh said the league and union were having good ongoing conversations, adding there are not major issues on the table to quibble over.
“It’s moving steady, it’s moving forward and I feel good with where we are and we’ll see what happens,” Walsh said. “It gets complicated at certain times, any collective bargaining agreement, but it’s not where it was in the past here where you’re seeing national disputes between organized labor and companies.”
Hainsey, the NHLPA’s assistant executive director, expects the constant meetings to continue during the final in Edmonton and South Florida.
“We’re all in the same place at the same time,” Hainsey said. “There are multiple days in between these games where we can find something for ourselves to do.”
No Russians in OlympicsDeputy Commissioner Bill Daly said the league does not expect Russian players to participate in the Olympics next year. That would be status quo for the International Olympic Committee and the International Ice Hockey Federation, which has banned Russian teams since that country’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.
Walsh said players he has spoken to are disappointed not to be able to participate in Milan, the first Olympics with NHL participation since 2014.
“It’s out of their control, and there’s not much they can do,” Walsh said. “There’s not much they can do with what’s happening in Ukraine and Russia, and they want to play best on best. We hear it all the time. They want to play best on best and we were hoping that by this point in time, the conflict or the war would not be where it is.”
Expansion?Daly said the league is not engaging in a formal expansion process to go beyond 32 teams, but officials are listening to potential ownership groups about any proposals.
“If somebody wants to essentially apply for an expansion franchise and has all the requisite elements that we would look for in an expansion franchise, we would raise it with the Board of Governors and see if they have any interest in it,” Daly said. “There are some people we’ve talked to more than others, but there’s a lot of interest, which I think we’re gratified with.”

MBC’s upcoming drama “The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun” has teased an intense web of love, revenge, and ambition among its four leads!
“The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun” follows the intense journey of Baek Seol Hee (Jang Shin Young), a single mother seeking revenge against a powerful conglomerate family for the sake of her only daughter.
Jang Shin Young x Seo Ha Joon — Bound by a Shared Purpose
Baek Seol Hee and Moon Tae Kyung (Seo Ha Joon) cross paths by chance but quickly find themselves united by a common goal: revenge. While Seol Hee is consumed by a desperate desire to avenge her daughter, Tae Kyung returns to Korea after 25 years to reclaim what was stolen from him. As they come to understand each other’s pain and anger, a deep bond begins to form. Will this connection help them achieve their goals, or will their growing feelings complicate their fates?
Jang Shin Young x Yoon Ah Jung — A Ferocious Battle Between Two Women
Once living a peaceful life running a small eatery while raising her daughter, Seol Hee’s world is shattered in an instant. When she discovers that the powerful Min Gang Group is behind her tragedy, she vows not to back down. Standing in her way is Min Kyung Chae (Yoon Ah Jung), the group’s favored successor. With good looks, wealth, and charisma built by privilege, Kyung Chae lives a life that couldn’t be more different from Seol Hee’s. While Seol Hee finds joy in life’s simple pleasures and radiates warmth and kindness, Min Kyung Chae—who’s had everything since birth—craves even more power. Their fierce showdown, with neither woman willing to yield, sets the stage for a gripping clash.
Jang Shin Young x Oh Chang Suk — A Past That Resurfaces
Seol Hee also shares an unresolved past with Kim Sun Jae (Oh Chang Suk), head of Min Gang’s legal team. Raised in poverty, Sun Jae rose through sheer intellect and drive—and now stops at nothing to get what he wants. Their shared history hints at unfinished business, leaving viewers to wonder: how does Sun Jae fit into Seol Hee’s fight, and is their connection a ticking time bomb?
Seo Ha Joon x Yoon Ah Jung x Oh Chang Suk — A Love Triangle Fueled by Ambition
A tense triangle also forms between Tae Kyung, Kyung Chae, and Sun Jae. Min Gang’s chairman Min Doo Shik (Jeon No Min) quietly hopes to see his daughter Kyung Chae grow close to Tae Kyung, who now leads the company’s new business division. But Sun Jae, eager to become part of the elite family, competes fiercely for Kyung Chae’s affection. As Tae Kyung infiltrates the company for revenge, Kyung Chae fights for succession, and Sun Jae schemes for status, their ambitions collide—igniting a storm of power plays, obsession, and betrayal.
How will these fateful relationships evolve—and who will survive the fallout?
“The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun” will premiere on June 9.
