Forgot who said it on ESPN but they predicted in order to save most of the season, a deal has to be done in under 2 weeks or else they lose everything up until December/January.

If no deal is reached before mid-January, then it is almost impossible to have a 50-game season with playoffs occurring on time even if they crammed in the schedule.

Also a lot of the blame is going on the superstar players for bolting during negotiations leaving a weaker union who doesn't want a hard cap because it affects them more than the star players. To be fair, every other major sport except NFL has other leagues the players can go if the season is stopped but in the NHL and MLB's case, the stars didn't leave until after the season was cancelled.
