My favorite part is that everything is based on revenue levels.
Who provides the revenue? The fans and sponsors.
And right now, the average fan would be hard-pressed to spend money for a lockout that engulfed an entire season to provide that revenue.
Right now, most sponsors would be hard-pressed to spend any money on a sport that they most likely will make little to no money on.
Before there is a deal that is done, the NHL and NHLPA need to agree on exactly how much revenue they expect from us, the fans and sponsors.
What I want to know is who is coming up with these numbers? I can come up with estimates, they will be just as valid as any expert's would.
At the point we are at, both sides can say what they want, the fact of the matter is that neither side will know how much their proposal will work until it is put into use.
