I think as the date by which they can no longer have a season (February 18th?) approaches, they will realize their situation, and they will work something out in time.
Ideally, they will realise the mistake it would be to not have a season before they actually experience it first hand. Hockey is barely alive in America, and if there is no season, I see it taking a VERY long time to recover.
It seems like there won't be a season now, but as the time passes and February nears, I think the two sides will get their shit together and have a shortened season. If they don't, hockey is doomed; though some may argue it has been doomed for years in the States.
