Go ahead foot
I read somewhere that if the dispute is not solved in 12 months the teams can bypass the NHLPA and offer the players contracts directly. In 12 months, the NHL teams can implement their $31m har caps. It might be $25m by then if the fans aren't happy.
The players made a weak offer designed at maintining the status quo. The did agree to give up 5% though (about $2-3m per team).
The owners HAVE made offers too. Their salary cap deal offered $31m per team.
Both sides won't blink. Both sides don't care. Both sides offers are so crap that they aren't worth the other side dealing with.
The sooner teams fold the sooner the players come back.
