*Official* CBA Negotiations and Lockout Thread


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know when the NFL and NBA lockouts ended if both sides were far apart like the NHL and NHLPA are right now and then all of a sudden reached a deal. Or were both sides far apart and then after a few weeks of getting negotiating they finally reached a deal?

I ask because obviously both sides are far apart and was wondering if maybe one day we wake up and they reach a deal, or do we have to sit through a few weeks of people telling us they are getting closer before reaching a deal.

The NHL and NHLPA will go back to negotiating on Tuesday. Players will miss their first pay check on Monday, but they will receive their escrow checks in the next 2 weeks. No new offers/proposals are expected to be brought to the table.

‎10:00PM — "No, really frack Gary. ???? prick. I bet he’ll let us sit the year. Owners don’t care. ???? hypocrites. Can’t afford the cap where it’s at, but lay out $200 mill for Suter and Parise? Need us to take a pay cut, but paying Redden $6 mill to play in Connecticut last year? Need cost certainty, but bet $9 mill on Bryz not going ???? batcrap crazy in Philly? Bull-????-crap. Something’s wrong there."

Daly was asked via email on Friday what was preventing the NHL from making a new offer, “Just the concern that the union will do what its done with our last two offers, pocket them and ask for more…”

The payback to the players would occur over the balance of their contracts.

Fehr: Our hope is, after we review this, that this will be a proposal we can negotiate from

Don Fehr: "We will discuss offer internally and get back with NHL. May be today, may be tomorrow. Sooner, rather than later"

NHL intends on calculating lost salary in getting to 50-50 and will pay the players back over time.

The key to this NHL proposal, as I see it, is what "protection" exists in it for the expected first year player pay reduction.

Am told in NHL offer there is a proposal designed to "protect" players for salary reductions in the initial years

Don't know details yet, but from what I'm told NHL proposal in some way protects player salaries as is in 2012-13. Interested to see how.

Bettman says there is no rollback. He said proposal was long term deal. He did not mention years in deal.

Very interesting. Definitely sounds like more of a starting point, especially if they're going to figure out a way to make teams honor the contracts they've signed. Time to lock themselves in a room, give a little on both sides and get this done!

I'd really like to have more details about the offer though. Does that include a redefinition of HRR as well (which means a far greater reduction in player's share than the 50/50 would seem to indicate)? Does it include the other things the owners were demanding before, including a contract limit (which I actually agree with, as long as they are required to honor existing contracts as they were signed), extending the entry level contracts lengths, and denying players all rights to arbitration? Also, does it address team revenue sharing as the players were asking for so that more in-the-red teams could benefit instead of a few teams taking home a profit thanks to the bailouts after publicly reporting a yearly loss and crying poverty?

Anyone else think the news leaking about the NHL hiring a spin doctor and using a focus group to develop a propaganda message scared them enough to make a new offer?
