Makes sense. Flights are probably already getting cancelled.

Take this for what it's worth – gossip – but hearing some team employees being told to be prepared for possible season re-start on Dec. 1.

Renaud Lavoie on RDS just now:

Don Fehr has put a gag order on the players. Wow. He says Fehr did that in MLB since once upon a time they were close to a CBA and a player said to the media ''we are close, let's get it done'' and MLB pulled their offer off the table.

Haha, I'll get back to it at some point. This name was picked by election so I'll stick with it for a little while. Gotta ease back into the beef.

Hearing both sides in meeting spent first 3-plus hours on revenue sharing (among teams); picking up from last night. Not yet on Make Whole..

RT @NYP_Brooksie: Told by sources NHL is not committed to contract term limit but is committed to ending dramatically front-loaded deals.

Hate to say this but just told by person in the know that yesterday was as close to a waste of time as you can get. Hope today is better...

Really you bring this crap in here, just after all the good tweets we have had. You are killing the morale around here!

Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie
Two sources report NHL would assume entire make-whole with at least a portion deferred but unclear whether that applies only to first 2 yrs

Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie
That at least was plan before today's meeting.

Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

D_Leed trying to say Flyers can can buyout Bryz and then try to resign him. I even tweeted him they would most likely not be able to sign him until a year passes(like 04), he just ignores it and keeps going on his rant.

Of course this is a hypothetical if we are allowed a buyout.

You could always buyout Bryzgalov and acquire Luongo?

I'll drive Bryz to the airport. AC or Philly. Newark if he tips well.

[Krishna]

@drosennhl: The CBA meeting is over for the night. Updates to come.

[KingForsberg]

For an amnesty buyout I'd rather buyout Pronger.

Yes, and if I ever get sad I can always shoot myself in the head with a shotgun instead of a revolver.
