It keeps going on and on as The Globe and Mail reports contract talks are expected to resume. They will but they won't drag out. I'm not a believer that we're out of time but I can do the math. 60 days for playoffs. 65 days for a 30-game season. A couple of weeks to get tickets sold and players in camp. We still have a week or 10 days to get an agreement and get it memorialized. That's the good news.
The bad news is that nothing is going to happen until the NHLPA looks in a mirror, asks what's best for the majority of the rank and file, and negotiates a deal that includes a cap of some sort. That was, is, and will be the problem.
