most of the public is behind the owners on this and want to see hockey get fixed
i didnt say otherwise. publick support and $1.00 gets you a Pepsi and coke at 7-11.

I know, personally speaking I want the owners to keep the players locked out as long as it takes
i didnt say otherwise. dont you prefer that as long as it takes comes sooner rather than later ?

to make a deal that allows each and every team to compete for players fairly
i hope they arent waiting for this. it exists already and certainly in the PA's offer.

the owners were losing money under the old system, the NHLPA pretty much admitted to that by the 24% roll backs
thats one spin. i say the players offered it as an alternative option for the owners to a hard cap.

the owners are going to get cost certainty one way or another...and its going to be a fixed percentage of revenues
i didnt say otherwise. im trying to come up with ways to get the game back on the ice at the owners terms without a scorched earth policy.
likea said:
so the players need to ask themselves if they want a 54-57% of 1.8 billion in revenues or if they want 54-57% of 1 billion in revenues
this still has nothing to do with the theme of the thread. i never said otherwise on this either.
likea said:
either way the owners will not fold, and that is why they voted to veto any proposal that just 8 teams are against
sigh ... im not suggesting the owners fold. im suggesting they put some sugar on the table to get the players to the table.
you do not care that the owners cant even find a way to get what they need AND get the game back ?
so once again ...
the owners should offer the players 50 percent of all the playoff revenue this year to get them to the table.
why not ... the owners need to get this thing solved and time is ticking.
