The players were willing cut there salaries by 1/4 (find me ANY other company or sport that the players would ever agree to that), bring in the NLRB already, Bettman has made it VERY clear he is not willing to compromise or negotiate with good faith then its time they came into the picture before he kills the league.
Note to bettman...the CBA is a compromise on both sides to come to an agreement..NOT to have it your way and only your way.
Help me out here, but I dont recall if the players were prepared to keep this same salary scale after the first year of the 25% pay cut.FLYLine4LIFE said:Good, they dont have to.

Were they?
PitkanenPower said:Why is it that you refuse to aknowledge that the NHL took the NHLPA's offer and restructured it? How is eliminating a pay cut for the 349 players making less than $800k equivalent to "throwing it in the toilet?" If you work out the math, the NHL proposed an across-the-board equivalent salary roll-back of around 12%.
Under the League proposal, 658 players would have to rollback less than 24%, 133 players would rollback exactly 24%, and only 65 players would rollback more than 24%. Pardon me, but I don't see that as being unfair.
FLYLine4LIFE said:Unfair? Everyone is equal and she be equal in the CBA....why should the lower level players not have to give up anything but the better player give up so much?? That aint fair in my book. Im my book that just looks like the Owners are trying to get the lower level players on there side...thats all it looks like.
Why the Gm's . I'm asking you. If the players did offer that, I can kinda understand your , but if they not, you really gotta give your head a shake.FLYLine4LIFE said:You'll have to ask the GMs that question.

Pretty standard negotiation stuff. Resist & deny until the very last minute, hoping (i.e. throwing a last ditch hail Mary) in the hopes that the owners are listening and change their minds.
The players have too much lose this time around. Once they concede a cap, every thing else will fall into place. There'll be NHL hockey this season. If not, there won't be any hockey until fall of 2006 at the earliest. At that point, the owners can have the majority of players at a fraction of what they're getting paid now.
