PitkanenPower said:Ok, so now Leafs Lunch just announced the proposal has been rejected. I think they just said it's "unofficial" though.

Calm down!

Well said!Ismellofhockey said:Get off your high horse and take a look at what the rest of us are seeing:
The NHL has locked out the players because they're losing too much money.
The only way to remedy this system is being refused by the players despite access under the new proposal to the teams' books, despite profit sharing beyong a certain threshold and despite a salary cap level that would maintain them as millionaires.
I just don't see what the players are refusing in this offer. They're not even willing to negotiate on the piece of the pie they'd be sharing with the owners, they simply don't want to share.
Grow up. Yeah , the players are a bunch of idealogues.Jobu said:And you think you have credibility for assuming out-of-hand that this proposal makes any sense to players? Climb up from under Bettman's desk and try a bit of objectivity.
