      the
      near
      future.
     
    

    
     
      The
      NHLPA
      has
      recently
     
     
      concluded
      a
      meeting
      in
      which
      it
     
     
      considered
      two
      league
      proposals
      with
     
     
      a
      deadline
      of
      the
      8"
      of
      April,
      while
      the
     
     
      NHL
      itself
      has
      a
      board
      of
      governors
     
     
      meeting
      set
      for
      the
      20".
