“I thought the other that it was interesting that Hainsey in particular approached it is that although the new SMEs will come into force on September 15, 2026, there are clearly some conversations going on between the League and the Players Association about whether some of the changes will come into effect.

And for example, concept rights there will have been some discussions about whether or not the concept rights should change for next year’s design.

But one of the things we mentioned in our previous podcast were rumors that perhaps the new contract rules could be in force on July 1. And at the moment, for example, a team signs a player, it is eight years to a maximum of eight years, but if you sign with someone else, it will be a maximum of seven years under the new SMEs that will change to seven and six.

And there is also a limit to the amount of bonus payments that can be offered as part of a salary.

And you know, for example, if you are there, Connor McDavid – Edmonton, Jack Eichel – Vegas, Kirill Kaprizov – Minnesota, Kyle Connor – Winnipeg, Alex Tuch – Buffalo. Name all players who may be unlimited free agents in July 1.

One thing that Hainsey has made quite clear, and you will hear his answer is that these new rules will not come into force before July 1 next year. So all these players who are still affected for the following season can be signed with contracts under the current rules. The new will not come in early. And I think they were for many fans, they wanted some clarity about it, and now they have it. “
