Finally, some good news:

NHL, players set for 56 games, all-divisional play
The NHL and NHLPA approved a 56-game regular season beginning Jan. 13. The season will feature only intradivisional play until the semifinals of the playoffs.
It's not confirmed, it is "expected", whatever that means:
www.espn.com
NHL expecting Canadian teams to play at home
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly expects the league's seven Canadian teams -- Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg -- to be able to play home games this season.
you are right thought this was the confirmation

"We believe we are aligned" does not sound to me like "bank it" or "it's a done deal". If it's a done deal, say it, don't give me this vague fucking mumbo jumbo, "we believe we are aligned". WTF does that mean? Sounds like the NHL is engaged in wishful thinking and is doing its best to keep the Canadian fans interested.
AGAIN, there is no formal confirmation, either from the NHL or health authorities. NHL.com is repeating the same vague, non-commital language from Bill Daly, and nobody from the health authorities is saying it is a done deal yet, or that "it's a go", just Bill Daly saying that "we believe we are in agreement" and the NHL's Canadian teams are "on track" to play at home, whatever that means. These are vague, non-confirmatory assertions, at the very best:

Deputy Commissioner Daly says League, provinces 'in agreement on conditions' for start of 2020-21 season

Well, the season is almost here. The Tampa Bay Lightning is the defending champion of the NHL, but there is a rising team brimming with young talent, and they will win the Stanley Cup within 5 years with the cupboard of young talent they have. I am speaking of the New York Rangers, of course. They have 2 players that will, according to SportsNet, finish 1-2 in Rookie of the Year Voting in goalie Igor Sheshterkin and center Alex Lafreniere:

I predict Sheshterkin will win, and Lafreniere will be runner up. Sheshertkin was unbeatable last season until a car accident in Brooklyn caused him to be injured and miss a big chunk of the season. The Rangers had been rolling with him, but now he is back and healthy. They called Henrik Lundqvist "The King", and now they are calling Igor the "Czar of Brooklyn."

The sporting world's power couple took to social media Tuesday to announce the news, which came almost a year to the day after Vonn said she had asked Subban to marry her.
Chara done with Bruins; Signs with Caps. One year deal for $795 000.
I'm hearing the Bruins wanted him to retire as a Bruin but Chara wasn't ready to retire yet.

It's only appropriate to post what Chara posted on his Instagram:

'My family and I have been so fortunate to call the great city of Boston our home for over 14 years. Recently, The Boston Bruins have informed me that they plan to move forward with their many younger and talented players and I respect their decision. Unfortunately, my time as the proud Captain of the Bruins has come to an end.
I want to first of all thank the passionate and loyal Bruins fans, who shared the ups and downs of each season over the past 14 years. I’m proud that we were able to return the Stanley Cup to Boston and celebrating with all of you, in Boston, New England, and around the world, was a moment I will never forget. You all have treated my family and me as one of your own and I will always be grateful. Thank you.
I would also like to thank all of the Bruins staff. The trainers, equipment staff, medical staff (all doctors, dentists and therapists), PR and hockey operations, the front office staff, arena staff, security and everyone who helped make the past 14 years so memorable. While there are too many names to mention, please know how sincerely grateful I am to each of you.
I want to thank the Jacobs family for the opportunity to represent the Bruins as their Captain. I am grateful and proud of everything we accomplished.
To all of my teammates throughout the years in Boston, I am so lucky to have a lifetime of memories that I will never forget. From the highest highs to the lowest lows, we were always a team, we were always there for each other and those bonds and friendships will never be forgotten.
My family and I will always cherish the strong friendships and connections we made here. From the beginning in 2006, we have been embraced by this community and made to feel welcome. We will always be grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the community and for the people who always supported me and my family.
As I begin this next chapter, I want the people of Boston to know how proud I was to be a Bruin and how grateful I am for all of the support over the years. “Thank you” does not seem adequate to express my sincere gratitude. I will always be a Bruin. I will always love Boston.'
Thank you.
