• Bill Daly on the leaks from the players/owners: "The players told us that they were insisting on the termination of the players-owners only meeting dynamic, which we felt had been helpful in gaining some traction in talks. They told us, two or three times in the same conversation, that their decision in that regard was non-negotiable. Our owners weren't happy with that decision and essentially decided to disengage."

• What the NBA lockout can teach us about the NHL lockout: "But the NHL knows it can bend on some of its demands -- as it has on several already -- so it's testing the union to see how far it can go. The union knows this too, so it's testing itself to see how long it can hold on to other rights now that it has conceded a drop to a 50/50 split of revenue. Both sides know a full lost season is too high a price to pay for any remaining sought gains." [SB Nation]

• Good stuff from Dellow on the owners wanting a long-term CBA agreement: "A lockout is an investment for ownership of NHL teams. They are investing foregone revenues and damage to their brands in the hopes that they'll be rewarded for that investment with higher profitability or franchise values or both. A longer deal equals a more significant return on their investment. If the NHLPA gives that deal to them, despite the undeniably valid concerns that Fehr raises about the legitimacy of the union entering into such a lengthy CBA, it increases the NHL's return on its investment of foregone revenue, legal fees and goodwill in a lockout."
