The league's latest offer includes a salary cap of $42.5 million US. The deal the NHL offered the players on Monday had a $40-million salary cap.
"This offer is not an invitation to begin negotiations - it's too late for that," commissioner Gary Bettman wrote in a letter to NHLPA executive director Bob Goodenow. "This is our last effort to make a deal that's fair to the players and one that the clubs [hopefully] can afford.
"We have no more flexibility and there is no time for further negotiation."
The players' union has until 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday to accept the offer, according to Bettman's letter.
