No decision on if the NHL will send players to the 2018 Olympics is expected, but a Wednesday meeting between the NHL and the International Ice Hockey Federation in New York is the next step in talks.
“Certainly I think we’ll know more coming out of that meeting than I know standing here right now,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Monday, according to the Canadian Press.
The meeting is also expected to include USA Hockey and Hockey Canada.
The NHL is unhappy that the International Olympic Committee is not willing to pay travel costs for NHL players to play at the Winter Games, as it has previously.
