Mediation has ended and apparently no results to speak of...however the mediation was cordial and one of the by-products may be the sides realizing the personal aspects of these negotiations are killing the potential deal. With that in mind it is being reported that Bettman has proposed the sides meet without he or Fehr. Just Players vs. Owners.

I agree 100% with Gary on this one. It has gotten too personal...Players are making this about Gary, owners are making this about Don Fehr.....It should be about deal making. More shortly.
