Mauii Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The NHL is a strange entity...they seem to lack any sense of legal or business accountability, and this CBA negotiation is really bringing all this to light. Perhaps the only way the lock out be lifted and have players back on the ice is with the old CBA which has been agreed upon, which the NHLPA had proposed. I have to say, the NHLPA is sounding more and more up and up on this whole CBA negotiation, and sounding like they know more what they're doing then the NHL. Maybe Fehr for Commissioner? He reminds me of a brilliant lawyer I used to work for...always 3 steps ahead of everyone and much revered by everyone that has crossed his path...thereafter my experiences with any other lawyer went down hill from there...often more ego then brains. Brilliant lawyers with the right acumen and no ego are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 players don't want to take another pay cut, NHL has asked the players to take a 24% reduction in the new cba. Why? Record breaking years the last 2 seasons and your asking the players to take more cut? This doesn't make sense to the NHLPA. NHL is trying to low ball them not sure why. The only clause I like in the NHL offer is max 5 year contracts, thats the only thing I like about it. it sucks. In 2005 I sided with the owners in 2012 I'm siding with the players on this one. They don't deserve a 24% reduction. I know they are millionares, but still, these owners are billionares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 interesting seeing how the salary cap went from a high of 39M after the last lock out to a high of $70 during this lock out and the players lost in people's opinion. In 2003-04 team pay rolls were before the salary cap was put into the league ATL 24M FLA 26M MINN 26M NASH 23M PITTS 26M Now these teams have to pay a minimum of 63ish M Without these 30 owners willing to own these teams there would be 700 hockeys players grinding it out 9 to 5 like a lot of fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Karlsson Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 They would be smart to end the lockout right now, They would get all of their fans back and everyone would be more excited then ever. Which equals more $. The longer they wait the more money they lose from lost wages and angry fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Bettman doesn't care about the fans, it's pretty clear. He takes us for granted, especially the Canadian fans. The american fans will be fine as they would prefer to watch one of their other 3 pro franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brambojoe Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The lockout will soon solve the biggest problem in the NHL. "There is more money than the organization is competently able to manage" I don't really see the greed angle as it appears both sides are going to loose money at this point.
