The one thing I'm wondering about this article though is the numbers we've been hearing over and over was a hard cap offer of 31 million. If you take that as a % of 2.1 Billion (listed in the article quoted by Bill Daly...), they're only offering the players 44% of revenues. 53% is closer to 38 million which would not be far off the current average payroll....... the current average of around 42 mill represents 60% of 2.1 Bill. I'm thinking the owners certainly have some room to get this thing done satisfactorilly & quickly.
Just forget about the wannabe's in Carolina/Pittsburg/Anaheim/Florida, etc and let them decide whether they want to sink or swim in the big pool.........
