The National Hockey League is allegedly working on the New Year’s Day as they claim to review a “comprehensive” counter-proposal tabled by the players’ union, during their ongoing negotiations to resolve the 107-day lockout. The NHL Commissioner, Gary Bettman, informed all media sources while he was heading out on the New Year Eve’s celebratory moment that he will be working into the night at the league headquarters.
Gary Bettman stated that “we are in the process of reviewing (the union’s) response, we will do that tonight.” He added that “we will contact them tomorrow morning and we should get together, certainly by mid-day.” Bettman asserted that Monday’s meeting was “an opportunity for the players’ association to highlight the areas they thought we should focus on.” Donald Fehr, head of the NHLPA, had presented a counter-proposal around 2 p.m. local time in reply to a comprehensive proposal tabled ny the NHL, after they spent hours in discussion. Fehr spoke about the proceedings, saying “I’m not going to make any judgments, we’ll just have to wait and see.” He added that “we’ll make our responses in due course at appropriate times.”
When inquired if players will continue filing a Disclaimer of Interest in court on Jan. 2, which will begin process of disbanding the union and endangering negations, Fehr pointed out that “players retain all the legal options they always have had, those things are internal matters and we don’t discuss them.” So far a majority of 625 games of the season have been cancelled to the lockout.
