The National Hockey League Players' Association confirmed Thursday that NHLPA Executive Director Bob Goodenow sent a letter to Gary Bettman inviting the NHL's negotiating committee to attend a meeting in Toronto next week with the NHLPA Executive Committee and senior NHLPA officials. 

 

The letter also confirms that the NHLPA is working on a new proposal which it believes 'should provide the basis for a new collective bargaining agreement and thus end the owners' lockout.' 

 

"Almost three months have passed since the players made their last proposal and we have yet to receive a counter-offer from the league.  We have been working hard at other creative solutions and believe our new proposal will provide a basis to end the owners' lockout and resume NHL hockey," Bob Goodenow, NHLPA executive director.

 

More to follow.

 

This is some great news I think, that they are talking. I don't care what the deal is, but at least they are talking.

Since the NHLPA are the ones proposing discussions and offers, and the NHL never even proposed a counter-offer from the last one, I'd say at least the NHLPA is trying to talk to the NHL.
