After pointless meetings this weekend about non-economic issues, that one league insider told me was a waste of time, things continue to be very discouraging about the core economic issues.

The NHL and NHLPA today met again to discuss the definition of hockey related revenue and no compromise is being made from either side. “Unless they show some willingness to compromise, I don’t know how we get this {deal} done, ” Bill Daly told reporters today when asked about the NHLPA.
Daly confirmed that “no progress” has been made and told reporters that no further meetings have been scheduled as talks again have recessed.
