Marathon in Manhattan continues. Told lots of caucusing (good word) and the bargaining process remains strong.
Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Talks still ongoing. From NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly via email, "Still lots of issues unresolved."
Nick Kypreos @RealKyper

Hockey Buzz Eklund @Eklund
