Track the story from yesterday.

It sounds like the NHL will be submitting a proposal to the NHLPA as early as tonight. The players know what that proposal will detail and they will agree to it over the weekend or on Monday.

I’m officially looking at my bank account to see how many home games I can afford.

UPDATE: I was never near a computer on Thursday night, but I read this from my phone.
“We continue to have significant philosophical differences,” NHLPA senior director Ted Saskin said Thursday night. “No meetings are scheduled and we will not make further comment at this time.”
I no longer understand how these sources can be saying one thing, and the press something completely different. (UPDATE NOTE: Hockey Rumors has a theory).

Despite what the two sides are saying, I still hear that they will meet again on Friday. I also heard that the NHL proposal was salary tax based- and not salary cap based. I find it hard to believe that as well. We’re officially back to speculation.
