NHL labor negotiations will continue today after the players’ union reviewed the offer from the league and saw it as only a small step in the right direction. The NHL made a proposal to try and save an 82-game schedule on Tuesday that offered a 50-50 split in hockey-related revenue. Players’ Union head Donald Fehr said the offer would cost the players more than $1.6 billion over six years. The lockout began back on September 16th and the league has already cancelled regular season games through October 24th.
The Cincinnati Bengals may have one of their top picks back for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh as rookie Dre Kirkpatrick may be able to play in his first NFL game.
