Brick Tamland Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Just watched some of the interviews etc... from the meetings. It sure seems with NHL team cancelling opening the season overseas that they are preparing for a work stoppage. I cannot imagine these morons who make too much money to ruin our game could let this happen twice in a decade, but maybe. There was a lot of posturing with one GM evening stating he would have traded for Nash if there was not NHL uncertainty beyond this season. It was a long year back in 04...

susraiders Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Unfortunately I doubt that the NHL and the NHLPA will come to an agreement soon. I have hope, but that's all I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I would actually die if there was another lockout. A year without hockey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 won't happen, there are not any big issues like imposing a salary cap on the table. the uncertainty isn't about a stoppage, it's about the cap dropping, since the nhlpa is expected to get an increased share of revenues, causing the cap to drop to about 60mill the following season.

elvis15 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 OP, you should add a 4th option to the poll: maybe. I think the CBA has a provision where it can be extended one year to avoid a lockout anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 They will likely drive it for a while, because both sides want the most that they can get. I think it will be solved just in time for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imuzi Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I hope they can settle on it before they lose any games. But... If they pull a 04-05 again I am done with NHL for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lychees Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I hope not, the 2004 lockout showed that EVERYONE loses in a lockout. I hope Bettman isn't that stu--- hahaha okay I couldn't say that with a straight face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Raymond21 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 They better not have a lockout next year. I'd be bored as hell. But maybe I would follow the AHL? I'm not sure. As Incineration says it, everyone loses in a lockout. From coaches, players, referees, venues to fans, everyone is affected. Read here. Bill McCreary had to turn to "building kitchen cabinets" for income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZCanuck Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Gary Bettman just announced that the cap is going up next year, and that all GM's should work as if "business as usual." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
