NHL, CFTC Sign Off On Early-Mover Predictions MOU

The NHL is getting ahead of the curve here, and that usually means somebody in a front office saw the storm coming before everyone else did. This new MOU with the CFTC points to a league trying to stay organized while prediction markets keep creeping deeper into the sports business conversation. It is the kind of move that does not grab casual fans, but it absolutely matters to the people who count risk, control the messaging, and hate surprises.
