Unfortunately, the real stupid thing is that the main parties are so enamored with themselves and so ego driven there is no way they're going to listen to a "neutral" 3rd party and come off their high perch to get a deal done. To them, it's "losing" as opposed to "negotiating" and neither Fehr nor Bettman are willing to do that.
I really hope I'm wrong though. Downtown St Paul is essentially a wasteland without hockey, and a lot of businesses have laid off countless staff members while this drags on (a few happen to be very good friends).

As dead as St. Paul is.... downtown Buffalo probably makes it look like a thriving metropolis. Without the Sabres, during the week there is literally nothing going on down there.
I truly believe that Buttman and Fear, along with their massive egos, are the two biggest problems. Remove them and their crews and this could probably be settled sooner than later.
How is it that Bettman still keeps his job with his atrocious record. It baffles me.
