Peace in our time...(edit: maybe)

TSN.ca reports that the NHL and the new Continental Hockey League have reached a settlement on an agreement that will end, for the time being, players being lured away by large contract offers. As NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly put it:

"Everyone in the room agreed that for the foreseeable future everyone will respect everybody's contracts."

Parties at the meeting in which the agreement was reached included: the NHL, the NHL Players' Association and international hockey leagues in Zurich, the home of the International Ice Hockey Federation.


And then...

"The new agreement between the NHL and International Ice Hockey Federation to not poach players under contract hasn’t even been put into writing yet, but it has already received its first test with reports that Alexander Radulov has signed with Salavat Ufa of the Continental Hockey League."

Peace is elusive...
