faba Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Updated: July 13, 2005, 11:31 AM ET NHL close to deal after all-night bargaining sessionESPN.com news services NEW YORK -- An all-night bargaining session stretched well into Wednesday morning as negotiators from the NHL and the players' association tried to put the finishing touches on a new collective bargaining agreeement. Canadian sports network TSN is reporting that a deal will be completed today. ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek says sources with access to the negotiations have indicated the league and players could reach agreement on a new CBA today. A prominent player agent told Hradek that a deal will be announced today, and that the draft lottery will be held on July 21, with the entry draft being held in Ottawa on July 30. Discussions resumed Tuesday at noon and were still ongoing at 10 a.m. EDT Wednesday -- the 301st day of the lockout that forced the cancellation of the 2004-05 season. "We met all night," NHL chief legal officer Bill Daly said in an e-mail. "Nothing yet but getting closer." After meeting every day last week, the sides got together Sunday for a 14-hour session that lasted until early Monday morning. Just six hours later, they were back at the table. Those talks broke up Monday night and set the stage for the latest marathon session that got under way Tuesday -- the ninth straight days of talks. The sides have met for 10 consecutive weeks in an effort to get an agreement as quickly as possible so next season can begin on time. The NHL hoped to have a new deal to present to its executive committee during a meeting Monday, but commissioner Gary Bettman and Daly could only provide an update on negotiations instead. Once a deal has been worked out, the NHL board of governors will need to approve it, along with the rank and file of the players' association. Until then, the lockout that was imposed by Bettman last Sept. 16 goes on. The new agreement is expected to contain a salary cap with a ceiling in the upper $30 millions and a minimum in the low-to-mid $20 millions. Player salaries will not exceed 54 percent of league-wide revenues. Some players in recent days have voiced their displeasure over what will be included in the new deal. Bettman warned in February when he canceled the season that the offers the union passed up were better than any it would see once a year of hockey was lost. Just days before the NHL became the first North American sports league to wipe out a full season, the players' association said for the first time it would accept a salary cap if the NHL dropped its desire to link player costs to revenues. Another false alarm or not is my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
