Daniel Cleary thinks there's a "50-50" chance that the start of training camp will get delayed by a lockout. "We'll see," Cleary said. "I was optimistic when we gave them our offer, but the league didn't respond to it (favorably). The game has never been better. The parity is obvious, there are probably 18 teams who have a chance to win (the Stanley Cup). Revenues are growing. Everyone would like to see the season started on time." The current CBA is scheduled to expire on Sept. 15.
