08:19 AM ET 10.11 | Will another offer soon be on the table? After five hours of talks in two sessions Wednesday, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league has received indication that the NHL Players' Association is putting together a proposal, and the NHL is urging the union to make it. Daly said a "variety of sources" both privately and publicly tipped off the league that the union was working toward putting forth a new offer. The two sides have not swapped proposals in more than three weeks. "We understand you're working on a proposal. Make it to us," Daly said of the league's message to the union during Wednesday's negotiations. "Let's not stand on formalities. If you a have a proposal, make it."

You ever watch the comedian Bobby Slayton? He says when the guy finishes in less than a minute...........he should just jump up and yell "I WON, now, make me a sandwich" ! I sort of like the competitive idea of that.

ten years before becoming a free agent is ridiculous.

Oh, because yesterday's discussion about freaking ice conditions wasn't productive enough?

And why are the mods deleting everything? How about paying somebody to upgrade this ancient site instead of flagging harmless comments

There is very little of the Players position that i agree with. This however i agree with 100 percent. The average career is 100 something games. Ten years is ridiculous.

Didn't you hockey pucks just lose an entire season 6-7 years ago? What is wrong with the NHL and players union? You have no prime time TV contract and doing this is no way to grow your sport. Soccer is climbing up you arse in popularity and once that happens, put a fork in hockey... it is all over. I'm not an NHL fan, but I'd hate to see it disappear altogether due to stupidity and greed.
