Just got a letter from the Wizards (dated this past Monday) informing STH on the monthly payment plan (similar to Nats 'Grand Slam' or Caps Power Pay) that they'll stop charging participants in this programme for now.
Couple this with Stern's statement earlier this week that they're going to start cancelling regular season matches (the full pre-season has now been scrubbed) if they don't get a deal done by this coming Monday, and it's not looking too good....
