The league went to the table Saturday aiming to hammer out key issues in an effort to get a new CBA in place, but was stonewalled by the union's unwillingness to negotiate. I fear the union may have had a different agenda with their press release and the leaks (of a deal) Friday night, ... They wanted us back at the table and didn't even bring a new proposal.

The NHL maintains its willingness to discuss anything the Players' Association brings to the table, but a luxury tax is still not a starting point. We have said repeatedly that a proposal centered around a luxury tax will not work for us, ... A tax-based system is too unpredictable and the league's problems too severe for us to take chances on the future of the game. At the same time, we believe that a meaningful proposal from the union, as opposed to the regressive proposal they gave us on Sept. 9, would be a positive development in the process, and we remain prepared to discuss and negotiate over anything and everything the union proposes.
