Thread: NHL presents 'comprehensive' offer

NEW YORK -- The NHL and NHL Players' Association appear to be inching closer to a deal.

The two sides are meeting face to face, along with a federal mediator, for the first time since Thursday and are trying to hash out the remaining issues to reach a new collective bargaining agreement.

With the league and union trying to find a resolution on the Year 2 salary cap -- arguably the most contentious issue at this point -- the league has budged from its proposed $62.5 million, a source told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun.

If a deal gets done, the NHL has 50-game or 48-game schedules drawn up, sources told LeBrun.

It's not Fehr and Bettman that are at fault for this dude. The players screwed the pooch. Either way, I got the 10 year deal I wanted. The season is gonna be either 48 or 50 games. The season was canceled until Jan 14, so it'll start after that. Time for our boys to start coming back from overseas and the Avs need to pay O'Reilly.
