from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
On Wednesday night, both sides discussed Make Whole as a concept before wrapping up their 5½-hour meeting. They then huddled up in internal meetings to end the night.
The day was supposed to be mostly about the Make Whole provision -- that was the original plan -- but the first four hours or so of Wednesday's meeting dealt once again with revenue sharing (among teams).
In fact, Wednesday’s meeting, which originally the league hoped would start by 1 p.m. ET, was delayed until 3:30 p.m., because the NHLPA needed more time for internal work, including more on revenue sharing.
And guess what, a source from the players’ side said revenue sharing will once again be on the table Thursday.
It should surprise no one that revenue sharing is taking up this much discussion time. NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr has repeatedly expressed since talks began last June how critical revenue sharing was in the union accepting any new deal with the NHL.
