The NHL and NHLPA will meet on Monday, but the two sides won’t be working on ending the lockout.
NHL, NHLPA To Meet Monday, But Not For Labor Talks
According to David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail, the meeting was previously scheduled to approve the hockey-related revenue numbers from the past season. The Players Association said that they’d like to reopen negotiations with the league over the new CBA, but the NHL refused to commit to anything:
"I guess we’ll have to see on Monday," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Saturday in an e-mail message about the chance of negotiations starting up again after talks broke off 10 days ago.
Neither NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, nor NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, will be in attendance on Monday, which makes it unlikely that any substantive talks will take place regarding a new collective bargaining agreement.
