{coyotes} NHL defines preseason losses as lockout continues

NEW YORK (AP) -- The financial losses are starting to pile up as a result of the NHL lockout.

And on Tuesday, the league made that public.

In speaking to reporters after talks finished up for the day between the NHL and the NHLPA, Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly estimated that the league has lost $100 million in revenues from the canceled preseason.

''Today,'' he said, ''was not overly encouraging.''

And though they can pick up at any time, for the moment, there are no further talks scheduled. That only further increases speculation that regular-season games could be lost, with an announcement sometime this week. The season was slated to begin Oct. 11.

''We are closer by definition (to canceling regular season games),'' Daly said. ''We are focused on minimizing the damage.''

Tuesday's bargaining session focused on the definition of hockey-related revenue, and featured NHLPA head Donald Fehr, his brother, Steve, the special counsel to the players' association, and Winnipeg Jets defenseman Ron Hainsey.

''They have made some incremental moves,'' said Donald Fehr, who expects to informally talk with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman by Wednesday. ''It's clear that the players have made substantial moves towards the owners and the owners have made substantial moves away from the players.''

As there has been throughout the process, there is still a difference in opinion.

''We're looking for a long-term deal that's fair to the players, league and fans,'' Daly said. ''Certainly, we're trying to be as creative as (we can be).''

Meanwhile, Steve Fehr disputed the notion that no progress had been made.

''I don't know (that) I would agree with (that) phrase,'' he said. ''Talks can resume anytime they're ready.''

Daly, in an email to the Associated Press, said the league has not projected potential damage caused by the cancellation of any regular-season games. Clearly, the hope is that it won't have to address that matter, but the clock is ticking.

''What we have repeatedly tried to communicate is that we need to hear from them to move this process along,'' Daly wrote in the email. ''And we do think that's the only thing that is going to allow us to gain traction. But that doesn't mean we stop everything we're doing and simply wait around for a proposal.

''If there is something we feel we can do to move the process forward, I'm sure we won't hesitate to do it.''

Now in its third week, the lockout has forced many players to head overseas to play on month-to-month contracts. Others who are eligible to play at the lower levels opened training camp last week with American Hockey League affiliates.

{coyotes} LITTLE PROGRESS IN NHL TALKS AS REGULAR SEASON APPROACHES

NEW YORK -- The financial losses are starting to pile up as a result of the NHL lockout.

And on Tuesday, the league made that public.

In speaking to reporters after talks finished up for the day between the NHL and the NHLPA, Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly estimated that the league has lost US$100 million in revenues from the cancelled pre-season.

"Today," he said, "was not overly encouraging."

"We are closer by definition (to cancelling regular season games)," Daly said. "We are focused on minimizing the damage."

"They have made some incremental moves," said Donald Fehr, who expects to informally talk with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman by Wednesday. "It's clear that the players have made substantial moves towards the owners and the owners have made substantial moves away from the players."

{coyotes} NHL'S LABOUR TALKS SET TO RESUME TUESDAY IN NEW YORK

NHL labour talks are set to resume Tuesday morning, with discussions focusing on hockey-related revenue and not the core economic issues that continue to divide the two sides in a league-imposed lockout entering its third week.

A person familiar with negotiations, on Monday, provided the details of what was expected to be discussed at the meeting that will be held in New York. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the NHL and the NHL Players' Association have not issued an update on talks.

The person added there are currently no other meetings planned beyond Tuesday.

Negotiators for the league and players will pick up where they left off after Sunday, when they completed three straight days of discussions. The talks focused on secondary issues, such as what should define hockey-related revenue, as well as player health and safety.

Though both sides have made progress in discussing secondary issues, they've failed to make much of a dent into determining how to split up more than US$3 billion in league revenues between owners and players.

The NHL locked out the players after the collective bargaining agreement expired on Sept. 15, and has since cancelled its entire pre-season schedule. The next step is expected to come this week, when the NHL is anticipated to announce the postponement of the start of the regular season, which was scheduled to open on Oct. 11.

The NHL dispute is now attracting the attention of two New Jersey senators, who are urging both sides to settle.

Senators Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez sent a letter Monday to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Don Fehr urging them to consider the economic impact on their state if the dispute is not resolved.

The Democrats wrote that Congress has jurisdiction over interstate commerce, which includes professional sports, and will be keeping a "close eye" on negotiations.

The letter warned that the absence of New Jersey Devils' games in Newark could mean millions of dollars in lost economic activity and jobs in especially tough economic times. The Devils advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, creating a financial boost to the city just five months ago.

The lockout comes on the heels of the NBA's Nets moving from Newark to Brooklyn, N.Y.

{coyotes} NHL could start canceling games this week

The NHL is expected to begin canceling regular-season games this week as the lockout of players enters its third week with no resolution in sight.

Owners and players did hold three days of negotiations over the weekend on secondary issues such as drug testing, safety issues and pensions, but they did not address the key economic issues that are at the heart of the stalemated negotiations.

"The meetings we had over the last three days are part of the process," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. "I wouldn't characterize them beyond that."

Both sides are expecting to resume talks this week, but there was nothing scheduled as of noon Monday. NHL Players' Association executive director Donald Fehr was scheduled to have a conference call with players this afternoon.

The regular season is scheduled to start Oct. 11, and players would need seven to nine days of training camp to prepare to play. The league hasn't said how it will proceed with the cancellation announcements, but based on how they handled preseason games, it would likely seem they would cancel the games a couple of weeks at a time. The first cancellation could come at any time.

"We need for the union to show some willingness to move off its initial proposal," Daly said in an email. "The union has evidenced no willingness to negotiate. And as a result, we are kind of stuck now."

The core economic issue is owners' desire to significantly decrease players' share of hockey-related revenues downward from the 57% they were receiving in the expired collective bargaining agreement. The owners' latest contract proposal was a six-year offer with players share being reduced to 49% and then 47% over the length of the contract. The players' position is that they don't want any immediate salary rollback, but they are willing to take less of anticipated revenue growth over the next three seasons. In their latest proposal, they offered the option of extending that from three years to five years with additional revenues.

Neither side has been willing to negotiate off the other side's proposal, and the owners say the players' offers have essentially been minor tweaks of the same offer. Players view their proposal as thinking outside the box to address the problems of financially distressed teams. Their proposal includes their concessions going to increased revenue sharing targeted to teams in need.

Teams are starting to give out their ticket refund policies. For example, the Buffalo Sabres are offering season-ticket holders two options. They can receive refunds at the end of each month for games canceled or keep their money with the team and earn 4% interest on the games lost.

Some teams are giving more interest and some are giving less. The Minnesota Wild are offering 10% interest.
