didnt the owners offer to take the players model if they "guaranteed" it ?
"Roenick said he still can't believe the NHL owners didn't accept the players' last offer.
He confirmed the association offered a deal that would give the owners their "cost certainty."
'GUARANTEED' OFFER
"We guaranteed it. If it did not do what we said it would do and put a drag down on salaries after three years, we would go to their system and accept a salary cap," said Roenick. "Something that's equal for both sides. "
