Ultimately, CBA negotiation a lot like an NBA game. You'll save a lot of time & won't miss much if you just tune in for the final 2 minutes.

I assume you mean "they", being the players, would lose.Quote:

Also, it looks like the NHL covered their ass by deeming all contracts written during the last CBA only enforceable with the existence of "A" CBA.
Pretty iron clad ass covering.
So, the players lose and they still have to make a CBA.
Fehr goes after the cap hard.
The NHL no longer guarantees contracts, and down the toilet bowl it spirals.
Going after the cap is not only stupid, it's detrimental because it distracts from the real issues that can be solved. The PA's first proposals delinking salaries from revenues was as assinine as the NHL's first proposal.
Each side just wanted a starting place to negotiate and show that they were giving in, in order to get more. Each side is accusing the other of doing exactly what they, themselves, are doing.
Buncha ****tards, the lot of them.
That is LGK's own dizzyd!Quote:

Seems like he's more of an LGK alum. Does he still have a hockey blog? He used to have a good one.Quote:

Minor league teams will fold by the bushel-barrel-full. Youths in non-traditional markets will likely move on to participating in other sports.Quote:

n/m, got my facts twisted.
If they cancel the season I think NBC will have something to say about that in court as well.

#NHL players will have a chance to vote on whatever offer exists at the deadline...players give me the impression they'll vote to play
