It seems that with the deal close, the NHLPA may have some internal issues to work out before all can be wrapped up for good.

One would think that if Linden, Gartner, and Guerin were on-board, this baby would be wrapped up.One faction is what we'll call the pro-deal players. They want to get a deal done and get that deal done as soon as possible. This faction is said to be led by Trevor Linden, Mike Gartner, Brendan Shanahan and Bill Guerin, amongst others.
The other faction is what we'll call the anti-deal players. They believe things are moving way too far way too fast, that the pro-deal players are effectively rolling over and playing dead for the NHL on every critical issue and that the NHL isn't making enough concessions.
Exactly who belongs to this anti-deal group is open to speculation.
