NHL, NHLPA Set To Resume CBA Talks
The NHL and the Players Association are set to resume CBA talks, according to a Tweet from Chris Johnson of The Canadian Press.
The NHL and NHLPA are also ready to restart CBA negotiations, possibly as soon as tomorrow.

Johnson also spoke to NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. When asked about a Sept. 21 start date for training camps, Daly said "I think it's becoming unlikely."
Despite the willingness to restart talks, a new collective bargaining agreement is likely still some time coming. Daly's statement seems to be something of an understatement; signs have increasingly pointed towards a lockout, including a memo from the Players Association preparing players for a lockout and acknowledgements from NHL teams that a lockout is likely.
