Through all the presidential election chaos, you might not of realized that the NHL and NHLPA met for about seven hours today.
The meeting began at 3p.m. and ended around 10:15p.m.
Due to the fact the meeting recessed so late, The NHLPA said it would not be available for media tonight.
According to Dan Rosen, Bill Daly left saying "Collective bargaining negotiations between the NHL and representatives of the NHLPA recessed tonight at 10:15 pm with meetings scheduled to resume Wed., the League will not characterize the substance or detail of the discussions until their conclusion."
So, neither the NHL and the NHLPA will give us the status of their discussions.
Both sides have confirmed that there is another meeting schedule for tomorrow, but neither stated an exact start time.
Yes, the two sides meeting for long periods of time is a good thing, but I suggest you don't read too much into it since we really do not know where they are in their discussions.

Big day of negotiations
Hockey?
Over the weekend, the “secret” marathon bargaining session between Steve Fehr and Bill Daly became public. Unlike their previous “secret” meetings that later became public, actual core issues were discussed. The main issue discussed was the owner’s “major concession” that the “make whole” provision was up for discussion, and likely to come from the owner’s...
CBA Deal Coming
from Dan Oldfield at CBC,
Here’s my prediction: an NHL deal is in the offing.
We've heard that the No. 2 guys in the NHL and the NHLPA, Bill Daly and Steve Fehr, held a "marathon" bargaining session this weekend. We also learned there are plans to bring the parties together for more formal talks this week. What does that mean?

Is The Glass Half Empty Or Half Full?
from Stu Hackel of the Red Light,
Should we be excited that the NHL and NHLPA are resuming negotiations again this week? In one sense, yes, of course, because there can be no end to this ill-considered lockout without talks. But let’s temper our excitement about the owners and players finally getting back on the right path. Until we get some sustained momentum from the CBA...

The normally-dark tone omnipresent in previous CBA blog posts has waned over the past ten days, and for good reason. Ownership's compromise on the make-whole provision really lit a fire in these talks, as did marathon meetings between the number two men in Bill Daly and Steve Fehr over the weekend.
From yesterday's post:
