how many seasons will be lost to this stoppage? (i.e. 1, 1.5, 2, etc.) anyone believe in the possibility that the nhl may fold entirely?
Isles72 said:I think in early January the players will come forward to negotiate what Bettman has offered becuase they will realize that the sooner they get back to work , the less damage to the league .By not coming forward to negotiate a system with linkage , they are hurting the future income of the league (or as bob mackenzie says , the nice big pie will become a small tart)So , take your 54% of 2.1 billion , or , continue the stalemate and perhaps take 54% of 1.2 billion down the road.
Daley , on leafs lunch today said that everything aside from the systematic change of cost certainty is on the table for tweaking .So , the 54% the league wants for players salaries can be played with which would in effect raise the cap to perhaps 40-42 instead of 38.6 .
