NEW YORK — NHLPA executive director Don Fehr met with the media for a few moments this afternoon before heading off for negotiations with NHL representatives including commissoner Gary Bettman.

Fehr had little to say, however, he was hopeful that today’s session was the first of many that would eventually lead to an agreement.

He would not discuss specifics of what he expected to be discussed today.
