-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 @reporterchris: I'm told the NHLPA made offers yesterday on both revenue sharing and players' share/make whole. They expect a response from NHL today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Oh man, I'm trying to prevent myself from being excited but it's hard. Extremely optimistic about 3 days straight of lengthy talks, plus last weekend. Everyone wanted to lock Bettman/Fehr in a room and see what happens, this is about as close as this gets.

Shift-4 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 still not excited........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 There will be the current salary cap 64mil or 70 mil There will be a 50/50 split on revenue.once the cap reaches 50% These things were always certain right from the get go. I have always been hoping for the 5 year max on contracts moving forward . Make it easier to send players down. If they do get a buyout amnesty, that will also be a major coup for the Owners. But i doubt it. The 5 year max contracts will take care of most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 There's a lot of speculation at the moment that the PA is asking for too much, so don't get too excited yet. Both Owners and PA don't seem to be willing to change their stance at the key issues but least they're still talking at the moment.. Michael Russo @Russostrib NHL believed PA would go to 50/50 & negotiate "Make Whole." NHLPA instead again countered w proposal that gradually goes to 50/50.

Drybone Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think if the PA would be wise to take the 50/50 , keeping the cap the same but giving other concessions to the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stexx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 How would they do that? The cap is a percentage of the revenue. If revenues stay the same, and you go from 57% to 50%, the cap has to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 the league had proposed "freezing" the cap for the first year at least in order to stop teams from dumping players all over the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stexx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 So it would be a transitional cap? Maybe they are hoping revenue would increase during the transitional year to cover off the contracts under a lower percentage cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think any proposed deal based on anticipated increased revenue could be illusionary. The economy is headed for another downturn. Maybe this time the fans will be the ones who walk away. I am not suggesting a boycot I am simply saying the cost of tickets will exceed ability to pay.

Smashian Kassian Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 ^ we've got to pay for Burrows and Edler's new deals some how. That money HAS to come from Ballard/Malholtra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 hmmm let's see, the players want 50/50 in 3 yrs, the league wants it in the first year ... jeez, there MUST be some kind of middle ground here, but what could it be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 This is so exciting, they are finally negotiating, my only question is.. Where was this in August and September?? Was it really necessary to go through all the propaganda that we did to get here? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
