The deadline the NHL set for that year was right around July 1st.

So really, this could drag on for another 2 months before any sort of league deadline needs to be set.
I heard a rumour that the NHL had two schedules ready last year with either Phoenix or Winnipeg included until the end of last summer. I believe we should have some kind of resolution by August.
