With these two items being the sticking points I doubt if NHL players will be at the Olympics any time soon. The World Cup run by the NHL and NHLPA will proceed more quickly as the owners concerns will be covered. Just my opinon.

I don't see a lot of appetite let alone enthusiasm anywhere for the World Cup. There's a reason nothing has happened on that front in ages.
The players seem to be much more interested in the olympics, the fans certainly aren't excited about a World Cup, and I'm starting to think the only reason NHL ever brings up the World Cup is when it wants to distract the players from their desire to play in the olympics.
