Just curious to see what everyone thinks of the latest proposal by the NHL.

All the owners are doing is recycling the same basic proposal over and over, and changing the bells and whistles slightly every time to try and win public approval.
Kovy274Hart said:It's unrealistic to expect the players to accept a hard cap. It's also a little low. I'd raise it a little bit and soften it up. Throw in a luxury tax for the bigger market teams and make it worthwhile. Don't just satisfy the Edmonton's, Pittsburgh's and Calgary's.
I also don't get how they expect every team to get under that kind of cap if the league started back up.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
If they want a cap so badly, it should be reasonable.
In reality, this offer was put out there for PR. They knew it would get rejected.

Just because the owners offered a system that you didn't like, doesn't mean the owners are being unfair.
Same as the NHLPA offer, not being an unfair practice.
Both sides are on two totally different planes and it won't change until one decides to move off their stance, which will be the players.
Players must realize, if season is cancelled the owners will be united more than ever and the next CBA proposal in December will be much worse for their bank accounts.
Face it, NHLPA had it really good for ten years and now NHL is back to restructuring their business plan to a more than fair partnership.

the players have lost just as much money as the owners in the last 10 years, what are the owners going to concede to the players so that also can make up their 1 billion dollar loss ?EricBowser said:MS, What part of BILLION DOLLAR LOSSES over 10 years doesn't sink through with you, other fans and the NHLPA?
