(NYS) - The National Hockey League's commissioner's office today released a statement concerning the talks progress of the player's lockout. "Talks are progressing well and we anticipate starting a two week training camp for all teams and a 21 game season leading to the playoffs." The short season game schedule will be announced within days pending final ratification of the contract terms. "Players will receive salary caps that will keep all teams in a profit zone that will ensure the survival of the league" stated an unnamed official from management's office. "Owners are ready to pledge open books and salary cap penalties that will transfer income from rich market teams to poor market teams provided league expansion is taken off the table for the next 10 years."
