If I were a betting man, I'd say the owners will win this round insofar as the league is not quite consistently profitable enough to implement revenue sharing with players, and the players know it. They will get some decent raises to soften the blow, though, so everyone will go home happy. If this whole thing results in anything more significant than maybe a 2 week delay to the season, I'd be shocked.

Missing any part of the season would be traumatic for both players and owners. In the case of the players, some of them only make a couple grand a month, so every penny counts.
Apparently the CFLPA and the CFL have really dug their heels in and aren't even talking, so as the days fade away, it's hard to imagine them sorting things out before training camps open > that is supposed to be pretty soon, I believe.
