Anyone that wants to ride the rollercoaster, it is sounding pretty positive this morning.
From Twitter:
Edit: Some more info from Dreger:Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
PA hotel is buzzing in anticipation. Down to minimal issues...but, still not done. And definition of "minimal" may differ.

Well, if its a close as we're sensing it could be a very "good day" according to source.
Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Issues still include cap in 13\14, max contract and variance. So, "minimal" may not be best word unless significant movement from both.

I need 10 characters in my message to submit this, this sentence should do.

Source "tentative deal could be done within 24 hrs or #NHLPA could serve #NHL notice to disclaim early as 2day. Present meeting is huge.
This is normal when it comes to getting the deal done. The closer they are, the more tense and emotional it gets. I'm glad I get to go see my 9 year old cousin's hockey game soon. Let them get it done while I'm not reading. STFU and get it done.

Just came across this on Sportsnet - Source: Tentative CBA deal could be reached within 24 hours. I tired of all these games. Driving me nuts but who knows?!
"A source has informed Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos that a tentative deal between the National Hockey League and its Players’ Association could be reached within 24 hours, or the NHLPA could serve a notice to disclaim as early as Saturday."

Also from your link:
...Sources also indicated to Kypreos that the NHL moved up a proposed salary cap from $60 million to $63 million for the 2013-14 season with the cap floor being at $44 million.
Previously the NHL had insisted the cap top out at $60 million, while the players wanted it to be at $65 million...
That looks good for an agreement.

From Bob McKenzie's Twitter:
From Pierre Lebrun's Twitter:Someone who I feel has "sense" of where things are just told me: "There's a bit of frenzy going on now that may not be entirely justified."
