As much as this makes sense in our heads, nothing thus far in the neogiatitions has made sense to the general public. I highly doubt that the players will have a public mutiny on hand, because the minute that happens the deal will worsen even more from the owners. If the players are truly that upset as a union, they will get goodenow to make a deal this summer, the best possible deal, then kick him out the door. Who is to say that Bettman would not remove the offer if the players tried to come running back right now. He originally said he would in his PC, giving them one last chance, which was the NHLPA's PC. I just can't see the offer being left on the table if PA tries to come crawling back without Goodenow.
