Dolan sucks!!!
Both sides lack leadership
THE most absurd part of the NHL's refusal to increase its hard cap to $45M is that all of the critical underlying levers contained in Saturday's DOA proposal to the union would have made it virtually impossible for any team to hit that payroll ceiling, let alone every team, or even a representative number of them.
Someone on management's side — and not an incompetent such as Doug MacLean or a nincompoop like Ted Leonsis or a professional crybaby like Kevin Lowe — needs to explain why clubs wouldn't be able to suppress their payrolls operating under a CBA that contains, a) a 24-percent rollback on salaries and renewals; b) a 75-percent qualifier; and, c) team salary arbitration rights, including a one-year deferral that would compel the athlete filing to play the following season for a five-percent raise
