All of this per the Twitter feed of TSN's Bob McKenzie. I'll summarize it.
*The RTP and CBA package will have to be ratified by the NHLPA Exec. Committee and then a full vote of membership, but not until the Memo of Understanding is complete...and the league's Board of Governors has to ratify it as well.
*30 skaters in Phase 3 and an unlimited number of goalies; only those eligible to play in the resumption can skate in this phase.
*Any player can opt out of the next 2 phases without penalty; however, the player must make that decision and tell his team in writing by July 7th(Tuesday). Teams have until July 9th(Thursday)to submit lists of the participating players.
*There's a breakdown of players returning to their home cities and how long they have to quarantine(anywhere from 7 to 14 days)depending on a number of circumstances(transportation, where they're coming from, etc.)
*SPEAKING of testing: Players and personnel will be tested within 48 hours of arriving at training facilities and every other day after that; results will be available within 24 hours. IF it doesn't come in within that time frame, the player can't enter the training facility until there's a negative result. Temperature and symptom checks will be at home and the training facility. If a player hasn't already had a PPME in Stage 2, they'll receive it before Stage 3.
*And then there's this: If a player is determined to be at risk of developing a serious illness due to exposure to coronavirus, they will be deemed unfit to play and are out of Stage 3 and Stage 4. The player can get a second opinion. If they develop symptoms, they have to notify the medical staff..self-isolate...and undergo testing protocols if needed. If a player develops COVID-19 or any other illness due to it, it'll be treated as a hockey-related injury under the CBA.
*And just one more thing: There will be NO disclosure by a club to the media or the public re positive test results or a person developing COVID like symptoms without prior approval by the league in consultation with the PA.
