The NHL and NHLPA have discussed the possibility of hosting a smaller World Cup of Hockey in the middle of the 2020-21 season, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
The event would be a part of a larger international calendar both sides hope to negotiate during upcoming CBA talks, LeBrun adds.
Last week, the league announced it's abandoning the possibility of hosting a World Cup in September 2020 due to an unrealistic timeline in terms of preparation.
