According to a report in the Globe and Mail, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will reportedly ask the Toronto Maple Leafs to give up their opposition to greater revenue sharing when they meet on Friday.
The Globe also reports that Bettman will make a similar request to the league's other high-revenue franchises.
Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment president Richard Peddie would not talk about the details, only saying that the MLSE chairman Larry Tanenbaum invited Bettman to the meeting.
''There is no agenda,'' Peddie told The Globe and Mail. ''I would hope our message stays in the room.''
According to the paper, Peddie and Tanenbaum will tell the commissioner that the Maple Leafs do not intend to use replacement players if the labour dispute continues into the start of next season.
