I'm very suspicious myself... I can understand there being a gag order on disucssing the negotations; but that also prevents us from hearing if its about more than money. That fact that NHL-HQ is against the arbitration and disclousure of what the stumbling blocks leads me to suspect that salaries aren't the only major issue between the two parties. It should be interesting to see what comes out eventually...
