Today’s theme is “hockey please.”
So, if there’s early January puck drop, that means getting this done by the end of the month. As we saw in the spring/summer, these things can drag out, but the hope is that if there’s an agreement it’s within the next 7-10 days. But we’ll see if talks hit a snag or not ($$).
