Still assuming a 7.1% growth - not a notable step towards 50-50. Sure would be nice to see some serious movement.

Nothing lost yet! Time to tell them
To get shit done.

Grigs and Ceci with 4 pts each in their first games, aint no thing.

Nhlpas last offer was 54% dropping to 52%.
Nhls Last offer offer was 49% dropping to 47%

5% gap.

Difference is Nhlpa wants a cap at 52% if revenues drop after 3 years, and a ceiling at 57% if revenues increase.

Im tired of all the bullshit. Particularly with the players.

Everyone of those people makes such fat stacks of cash to play fucking hockey. Like come on...

When I heard Ovechkin threaten to stay in the KHL if his contract is rolledback, I felt like punching him in the fucking face. Apparently my fav player Kovy also said the same thing. What a douche!

[Arian The Insider]

let them stay lol

hard to feel bad for billionaires as well

IF you signed a contract under good faith... then you were told that ...yea b/c of our retarded spending actions we are going to roll you back. I wouldn't be happy either.

Just have a system that works, for all the teams, not just the great markets. Also stop having a gate driven league in markets that can't provide the gate drive (aka PHX, FLR, etc). If you want the players to be 50/50...that means they have a greater say than currently in the placement/relocation of teams.

[Nick]

Thom you miss how their salary system actually works.

Their current contracts were signed under a 57% revenue share. They have to spend that much.

[bills09]

I personally doubt we'll be seeing rollbacks or any large increases in escrow under the new system.
If the cap drops, teams will be given a window for Amnesty Buyouts to get there systems in order.

A roll back impacts players making the minimum as much as it does the players who make the max.

[Shep]

Both sides are retarded rich fucks and the fans will continually be screwed by all of this.

Fuck the players.

Fuck the owners.

Fuck you.

[MSP4LYFE]

The funny thing is that the vast majority of owners and players are not making millions from the NHL.
