Michael Russo via twitter: Donald Fehr and Gary Bettman will likely join Tuesday’s meetings. There is also a good chance that they meet on Wednesday, too. Renaud Lavoie via twitter: CBA talks are scheduled to start around 3 PM in New York today.
Tim Panaccio via twitter: Don’t expect a presser after the meetings today. The NHL will look to go the silent route with just putting out a statement. The NHL is thinking that they are better off if less is said publicly. Talks are expected to last most of the week.
Darren Dreger via twitter: It would likely take a at least a week to get a deal done. A quick deal is a longshot.
Allan Walsh via twitter: In the Chicago Daily Herald is was said: “An anonymous NHL executive said there are 6-8 owners shutting down a $3.3B business.”
Kevin Paul Dupont via twitter: One NHL team executive said that there was some movement with the weekend meetings, but he’s not convinced it will prove to be meaningful.
