nyr7andcounting said:They are probably having a vote as we speak. All the players can vote either a) do we accept the NHL's proposal with a $42.5 hard cap or b) propose a $45 or $46 million hard cap tonight and leave it in the NHL's hands come tommorow morning.
There isn't much room for either side to negotiate, the players know that, so it's either take it or try to get an extra $3-4 million and put all the pressure on Bettman tommorow morning. My guess is b.
One question: How can ECHLer Irbe have a say in the NHL seasonJobu said:No way 700+ players scattered around the world are being asked to vote on this now. It's too late... this is in the hands of Goodenow and the Executive Committee.

Son of Steinbrenner said:If i were Goodenow i would try to buy time. He could easily do that by saying to Bettman we are going to vote on your proposal as a membership but we need 24/48 hours to track down each and every player so they can vote. This way the NHLPA can come back to the owners in 2 days and say either we accept the cap or counter with a 45 million take it or leave it proposal. That way all the presure shifts the owners.
