Here is a major announcement.

According to information from the renowned insider Darren Dreger of TSN, Gary Bettman has made a huge decision regarding the scandal of the 2018 Junior Team Canada.

A decision that changes everything for the Philadelphia Flyers, the Calgary Flames, and the New Jersey Devils.

A big gift on the salary cap for the teams of Carter Hart, Dillon Dube, Michael McLeod, and Cal Foote

See the information in question.

"The Philadelphia Flyers, the New Jersey Devils, and the Calgary Flames have been informed that they will benefit from a salary cap relief for the players on leave who are accused in the criminal proceedings of the 2018 Junior World Championship." - Darren Dreger

Judging by the comments under his post, it's not unanimously well-received, but it's huge for these three teams ahead of the trade deadline.

We know how precious every dollar under the NHL salary cap is, so this is big for them.

Details will follow, but know that the Flyers, the Flames, and the Devils (the teams that have accused players) just got a significant margin for maneuver before the trade deadline.

This is big news.

And you, do you believe it's a good decision by the NHL?
