Crosby, Ovechkin on hand for NHLPA presentation

NHLPA Meeting

The stars are out for one of the biggest meetings of the summer.

That’s the word from Toronto on Tuesday as the NHL and NHLPA met to discuss the PA’s first proposal in the latest round of CBA negotiations.

According to Chris Johnston of the Canadian Press, 23 players attended the meeting, during which NHLPA Donald Fehr said his side would “put forth an alternative view as to what we should do next,” with regards to a labor agreement.

If the attendees were any indication, the NHLPA wanted star power present.

Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Steve Stamkos, Jason Spezza, John Tavares, P.K. Subban and Mike Cammalleri were just a few of the big names on hand.

Others attendees included Craig Adams, Josh Bailey, Tim Brent, Chris Campoli, Mathieu Darche, Steve Downie, Rick DiPietro, Sam Gagner, Steve Montador, Chris Phillips, Kyle Quincey, James Reimer, Matt Stajan, Mike Weaver, Daniel Winnik and Wojtek Wolski.

The NHLPA has tweeted that over 200 players have reviewed the proposal over the last 48 hours.

We’ll have more throughout the day as meetings continue and details come forth.
