We're all jumping to conclusions anyway, for all we know the PA could come out later today and say that there is still alot of progress needed to be made.
Here's what we can say. The NHL has officially canceled games through the end of November. It is extremely unlikely that the NHL will "un-cancel" these games.
oh i fully expect fehr to come out and say we are still miles apart speaking a different language, and that we just can't agree to anything that is apart of the leagues offer.

The cancelled games just mean that the arenas are free to book new events for those cancelled games. A lot of the dates will still be free though, due to the difficulty in booking an event on such a short notice. Thus there's nothing preventing them from scheduling new games in November on those free dates.Here's what we can say. The NHL has officially canceled games through the end of November.

I don't expect him to come out and say anything. Don't think either side will say much
Just like the 82 game season was cancelled and then reestablished, so could games in November. The current November scheduled was cancelled but a new one could take its place.

why is that so out of reach? 5 day camp, 2 game preseason and poof we are at 9 days.
any one that thinks it can't be up and running fast thinks the nhl is going to run a full rookie camp, preseason.
The difference is the 82 game schedule was proposed to start after the games that were cancelled. They never proposed to uncancel games.
If the PA has a good call and they say like NHL moving in right direction etc I will feel optimistic.
There is still a chance you hear phrases like no gain for players and just a media spin by NHL.
More like 3 days to get everybody there and two days for medicals, that's just for starters.
ummm you do realize that non of that stuff would be happening in the 9 days to get ready?
we are more then 2 weeks away from the start of the season if something were to be finalized today. it would take atleast a week to formalize the deal on the new cba (player votes, bog votes).
hence why it would be the 24th if a deal was to be reached today.
