Some NHL Insiders feel Ron Burkle's inclusion in players/owners meeting is important

Expectations from many is that the players/owners meeting on Tuesday isn't going to have much of an impact as neither side appears ready to come off their stances but at least one NHL insider see's Ron Burkle's inclusion in the meeting as important in bringing credibility to the situation as word out of Penguin circles is that Burkle doesn't intend to go into Tuesday's meeting as a puppet to Jeremy Jacobs.
