I can't find anything on their website that reports this. They pretty much said the same things that TSN said.

IMO if the League agreed to a Soft Cap now, other major concessions would need to be given from the players. Like gauranteed contracts and no arbitration rights.

The players would cave faster for a cap at the expense of keeping guaranteed contracts. I would too when the average salary is what it is.

interview on Fan590/Sportsnet Ontario with Roger Millions.
the meeting was a joke, they met behind security, media was buying the cheapest flights they could find just to get through security.
he said Linden didn't look too happy and looked frustrated after the meeting,
all sides did say it was a good meeting
Hotchkiss likely went to reaffirm the League's stance
no confirmation from Millions that they have set another meeting

Give the man the Hart trophy if there is a season. He is the Leagues most valuable player this season--regardless of play.

Or maybe it's because he was the only person in th elockeout who actually tried to fix anything. The rest was just a bunch of whining babies crying becasue they can't manage their own teams, and the others refusing to do ****.

Doubt it, players backs are against the wall, players thought the owners would back off their cap stance, just like 1994, didin't work this time, Linden and the PA know now that the owners aren't playin', look at the timing in which Linden called this "meeting of the minds" awfully close to what many were saying would be the drop dead date...I don't buy this Linded will save the season crap, that's how this whole thing is made to seem, but I see through the lines, you can't fool a fool!

I'm not going to say that Linden may have been forced into calling the meeting, however he still did it, which is more than can be said for the NHLs side.
Nobodies done anything too great yet, but if Linden's meeting proves useful enough to get a season, he's definitely getting the "hero" brand from me.

Well it was up to the players to make a move, so...the worst part is, if the players accepted a cap, they could probably hustle the owners on almost every other issue that's at the table, that's how bad the owners want cost certainty

So if the owners will break on every other issue, including the far more important UFA age of players, why the hell do fans support them? How would the league be better?
Illogical, as per the norm.
