It just doesn't sound like the sides are that close yet ..
The “accounting†meeting – as Thursday’s was described – was related to the most recent NHL offer made to the players which followed an NHLPA hybrid concept.
That addressed the relationship between player salaries and league revenues.
The NHLPA proposal contained an upper cap of $50 million and a floor of $30 million.
My information is that the NHL’s counter-proposal is for a $32 million cap and a $22 million floor.
