NHL competition committee set to go
TSN.ca Staff

As the NHL and NHL Players' Association inch closer to an agreement on a new CBA, the newly-formed NHL competition committee is ready to go.

TSN has learned the nine-man committee, which effectively takes over from the NHL general managers as the primary body to discuss and recommend all rule changes, will be comprised of four active players, four NHL general managers and one NHL owner.

Sources told TSN the players are Vancouver's Trevor Linden, Detroit's Brendan Shanahan, Calgary's Jarome Iginla and Colorado's Rob Blake.

The NHL GMs are Nashville's David Poile, Montreal's Bob Gainey, Edmonton's Kevin Lowe and Atlanta's Don Waddell. The ownership representative is Philadelphia Flyers' owner Ed Snider.

Looks like the NHL is slowly coming back to life. Gm's / Coaches being re-signed, next it's the players fellas...

Anybody heard anything on the age of free agency?

Found it. 30, 29, and then 28 in the third year.

Lowe and Gainey are good choices. I'm disappointed that there isn't a goaltender on the player's list.

Slap, I think the era of the goal tender mught be on the wane. This sort of reminds me of baseball in 1968-69 when they decided to lower the mound after ERA's hovered below 2 and .301 was the batting title winner. However if Linden retires I think Mary Brodeur would be a good choice to replace him.

She wouldn't by any chance be related to Marty Brodeur would she?:D
