Ron Hainsey said the owners threatened to walk away if Don Fehr was brought back into the meetings. Bill Daly clarified the owners position with an email to TSN. Here's what was said:
Hainsey and the players indicated that the small group dynamic was over, that Don Fehr was coming back in. He says the owners told them that could be a deal breaker. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly clarified the league's position via e-mail to TSN, saying "totally within their rights to do, but response of our owners was "if that's the case, don't expect us to stay involved."
Does it really sound like the owners want a season? Fehr represents the players. Doesn't it make sense for the players to bring Fehr back in if they think they're close to a deal?
Go ahead and cancel the season Gary. Watch the popularity of the NHL plummet. Great leadership. I can't wait to watch the next time you present the Stanley Cup, if there is a next time.
