IMO if Snider is starting to get jumpy we will see mounting pressure (behind the sceens) on Bettman to get something done. Also the comments from players in today's Free Press reacting to Bettman's suggestion to a 2 week break in negotiations would suggest they are also getting jumpy. The tone was definately let's get something done soon, not we are willing to hold out to the bitter end to get what we want.
I'm an optimist but I still say something gets done soon.
