    New 7 Year CBA Deal Done

    According to Woj, the deal is done. Two important developments that affect Boston: Teams more than $17M above the tax threshold will no longer have access to the MLE. So something almost like a true hard cap. The maximum yearly increase for contract extentions has gone up from 20% to 40%...
