Lemieux says players misled him and what else do you need to know? Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall at the PA meetings? Hopefully, Mario's words are what is discussed:

"The longer we wait, the more challenging it's going to be for us to generate enough revenues. At the end of the day, you can only afford to pay the players so much. The longer we wait, the smaller the pie's going to be and the less there's going to be for the players."
