Come Up With Creative Ways to Bridge the Gap

[Cloned]

I thought I'd make this a thread (originally posted elsewhere). Anyone with creative ideas to bridge that gap? Here's mine:

• 42.5 M cap with two exceptions per team over the 6 year term to go 5% over at 150% taxation rate; 25 M salary floor

• 42.5 M cap in the first two years, 45 million in years 3 and 4, 47 million in years 5 and 6; increase luxury tax rates accordingly; no salary floor

• Soft cap at 40 M; hard cap at 50 M; luxury tax at 300% between 40 and 50 M; no salary floor

I don't know. Am I way off base here with these suggestions?

Your suggestions?

Owners: 42.5
Players: 49

Creative way to bridge the gap: (42.5+49)/2 = 45.75

There we go, 45.75 millions cap, Next!

Charity bracelets and bake sales. I hear Mrs. Chelios makes a mean oatmeal cookie.

sell advertising space on the players uniforms. McCabe's jumper would be worth at least $3m a year to Mastercard.
I can see it now....

Hockey team $250m
Payroll $40m
Star player $6m
Watching Brian McCabe play under a cap "Priceless".

take the NHLPA cap at 49
throw in one more luxury tax threshold at the NHLs cap number of 42.5
signed, sealed, delivered

 

[likea]

why doesn't the NHLPA accept the 42.5 million offer only if a floor is put in place at 32 million

so instead of a floor at 25 million or no floor at all they raise the floor by 7 million....

 

[Captain Conservative]

Hard Cap of 46.5 million

35-40 million-25% tax
40-42.5 million-50% tax
42.5-ceiling-100% tax


Maximum a player can earn-6.5 million

Start a tax at $44.7M. If the owners don't like it you don't have to spend that much.

their reputations are at stake here
theyve both sent each other their final offers.

surely we cant have either one of them eat their words and make another counter-proposal

the reputation of these two gentlemen is far more important than saving the season

 

[R0CKET]

Hey...here's an idea.

Just bump Mikey Mo's pooch down to maybe the midline chow and buy, say, 1/2 of the rookie decapitaion twigs for Billy G this year.

That by itself might get the job done?!

 

[MarkZackKarl]

Killing Gary Bettman could go a long way...

 

[p.l.f.]

how about making it 49 million the first 3 yrs but with player rollbacks the first three yrs
then down to 42.5 million after that

its only a 5 yr deal anyway
