UFCanuck Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Somebody needed to be the bigger man and just make an offer. Gary gets major points in my book for being the guy to put something back on the table and at least try to get the season started. Fehr better start negotiating now, now he doesn't have any excuses.

Nevlach Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Bettman went up 1 point in my books. He now has 1 point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 John Shannon @JSportsnet The only core issue that remains intact from previous NHL offers is the length on contracts (on all new deals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Aerosex Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 50/50! Can't possibly complain about that, please accept the damn offer players! Bettman went up 1 point in my books. He now has 1 point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 My question is IF this is accepted, how do they go about the schedule? Do they keep the remaining games and add more at the end or do the come up with a whole new revised schedule? I only wanna know this because I have two on-refundable flights to L.A. in March to see them play on the 23rd/24th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckinEdm Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Mobile Bump How is there no rollback but yet they are lowering the player percentage 7% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I haven't seen all the details, but I'm not getting too excited yet. On the surface a 50/50 seems fair, but it the 2 sides can't agree upon a definition for "hockey related revenue" it's meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Shirokov Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 This is awesome. So we might actually get 82 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I would read the fine print closely. It's not unlike Bettman and the League to include a poison pill in this deal if they don't actually want the players to accept. Then they can refuse to budge, put the onus on the players and start the propaganda wars in earnest. Essentially, I remain skeptical yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I also am very curious about how they expect to reduce to 50/50 without a rollback. Intuitively that doesn't make sense so there must be a complicated mechanism there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-SN- Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 An extra game every 5th week for each team. Injuries. Injuries everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Kane Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 That worries me a bit. Does that mean the Stanley Cup would be presented in August? Or does it mean a more compact schedule? If it's a more compact schedule, then the risk of injuries go up. I would prefer a shortened season in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
