NHL Makes a Counter to New NHLPA Proposal... Update 3:35 |
|

UPDATE: new NHL proposal keeps Hockey Related Revenues where it currently sits. That's HUGE.
The meetings have ended for today, but not without some very positive surprises.
According to Donald Fehr it is too soon to determine actual progress. Fehr has said the NHLPA was willing to take a lower percentage over time...very big concession..
Why do I call this interesting?
There are 250 players in NY who will meet with Fehr in just over 2 hours. Had the NHL not responded so quickly with a counter offer that meeting would have taken a very different tone. There is some optimism here..
The NHL has called a Press Conference tomorrow in NYC at 3:30 to presumably present a lockout announcement. I am curious if the sides will continue to meet until the 15th? I am hearing they will...but that is only from one source.
stay tuned
