eye said:Bettman offer to Goodenow. We can now only offer you 32 million hard with luxury taxes that will go directly into revenue sharing starting at any payroll over 25 million plus we need a linkage protection clause at 55% max of gross agreed upon revenues.
Goodenow repsonse. Linkage is a non starter.
Bettman. OK, I'll be lifting the lockout to any player currently under 1 million in salary effective June 1st. See you at the draft.

11:15- Goodenow thanks Bettman for inviting them, says he will not talk about anything until revenue sharing is discussed. Bettman then proceedes to do some sort of rain dance. In response Goodenow requests that all people in the room take there shoes off
11:30- Sides meet in seperate rooms to discuss strategy. NHLPA hangs out watching some old Michael Jackson music videos with a couple of cold ones (Linden has 5, Goodenow 12 Labbat Blues)
NHL hangs out and watches highlights from yesterdays Tiger Woods victory. Sips on espresso spiked with some nice mexican liquor
12:00- Sides meet, shout some things, pound their chests and leave
1:00 - Daly comes out and reports that "both sides still have philosophical differences"
Sides meet next week, do similiar things

I'm very surprised there's a meeting this week. Nothing will come out of it, but hey, another few Sportscentre's with Healy and Burke yelling at the top of their lungs is always fun.

sveiglar said:Don't tell me you got sucked in to believing that the season is dead, did you? They don't need that any regular season games to crown a legit champion! 30 team, 1 game single-elimination tourney for the cup. Tampa and Calgary get first-round byes as last year's finalists, everyone else is seeded by regular season points. And with the added bonus that you can play the whole tourney in two weeks, it turns out that they've still got about two months of negotiating time left. Yippee, bring on Burkie and Heals for more nightly vitriol!
shOOt_the_mOOn said:The funniest thing I've read here to date are all the posters still talking about the $42.5 milliion dollar offer. :lol
Like they are going to offer that again?
There is no way that the PA will get that offer again.
From what I've read and been hearing, the actual offer was around $37 million.
I have a feeling this isn't going to be over any time soon.
