Stop with the rollback crap...and that's exactly what it is and was...CRAP
The rollback was simply the biggest piece of garbage in this whole CBA deal, and even the PA shills should know it. It only affected a certain portion of the NHL, and was a one time only thing that could be made up in a year or two. It meant nothing then, and it means nothing now.
A luxury tax is also crap, they have a luxury tax in baseball...where has that gotten anyone? Hmmm, lets see, nowhere, the Braves, Yankees, and Red Sox are still there every year.
As for last ditch? How about the PA in a last ditch attempt to save the season they finally accept a salary cap. Then what do they do? Piss it away by setting it high, and adding their idiotic Clause 7, which means the owners take the money hit if profits drop, but the players dont take any risk, and still get more money if profits go up.
Both sides are idiots, but to say the PA has conceded anything is moronic. They concede, but only when their back-up plan is in place. The owners have smelled every bluff this time around...and stood pat. It's time for another strategy FROM BOTH SIDES
