The NHL and their players association have reached an
agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement. There’s no word yet on when
the Nashville Predators will start the season or how many games will be played.
"We have to dot a lot of I's and cross a lot of T's.
There is still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework has been
agreed upon. We have to go through a ratification process and the Board of
Governors has to approve it from the League side and, obviously, the players
have to approve it as well,” said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
The deal was reached around 3:40 central time according to
NHL.com. The website also says the two sides reached the agreement after more
than 16 hours of negotiations.

Man pleads guilty to Memphis officer's murder
May 21, 2013 22:22 GMT
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A former death row inmate is set to be released from prison after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of a Memphis police officer.
Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said Tuesday that she has accepted Timothy McKinney's guilty plea.
McKinney was convicted of first-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Officer Don Williams. The officer was killed outside a comedy club in December 1997.
McKinney appealed and won a new trial, which ended with a deadlocked jury. A third trial earlier this year also ended in a hung jury.
The Commercial Appeal reports that McKinney was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Since he's already served more than 15 years -- including 11 on death row -- McKinney will be released this week.
Williams' family opposed the settlement.
