Elliotte Friedman reveals veteran forward Phil Kessel is returning to pro hockey
New three on three pro hockey league to steal multiple NHL players
For weeks now, it has been addressed that a new Hockey league is coming to North America this fall. the new name is the major hockey league, which will only feature three on three play.
The game of featured 2 periods, with 24 minutes in each period and one intermission in between.
Now Elliotte Friedman has dropped a report on when the details will be coming out:
«I do expect some kind of announcement during the Stanley Cup Final about this, a revelation as to exactly what this is, what the goals are and what they are trying to do,» Friedman said. «I think the picture is going to become a bit more clear some time during the Cup Final.»
Each team will reportedly have $30 million dollars in salary cap, and have the opportunity to earn $100,000 win bonus for each game.
«I think a bunch of players have reached out and are curious about it If there's a chance to play hockey for legitimate money, people are going to be interested,» Friedman said.
Friedman went on to say that he believes Phil Kessel would automatically earn a roster spot in this new three-on-three league that actually pays players well.
«It's true that the league would make a great marketing coup.»
After failing to earn a contract after a professional tryout with the Vancouver Canucks, this seems like a golden opportunity for Phil Kessel to keep his career going.
