from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,
If it decides to terminate the deal, the NHLPA must notify the league of that intention by May 18, 2009. According to Kelly, he plans to wrap up his 30-team tour by late November and then promptly hand over the voting results to the board for review in December. On or about Jan. 1, some 4 1/2 months prior to the deadline, the NHLPA plans to inform the league whether it will opt out.
“We’ll notify the league as soon as possible,” said Kelly. “We don’t want to drag this out.”
