Thunderstruck said:Yes they are "in line with this". Bettman has made it worth their while.
What colour is the sky in Jobu world?
Mike Brophy and numerous other respected source have reported that informal votes on some teams have indicated they were willing to drop the "no cap" principle. Are you willing to go on record calling all these sources liars?
The players are fractured and it will get worse as each day passes.
First I believe there was ONE team who said they would work under a salary cap. One team out of thirty.
I don't believe the big market teams are in line with Bettman, they just can't speak out on it, and the small market teams are too stupid to realize that Bettman is screwing them over with his brilliant revenue sharing plan. Wait for Nashville to get to the playoffs again or Atlanta make it for the first time and they realize that they will not be receiving any revenue sharing, they will be the ones paying it out and that will be after they upped their payroll to meet the salary floor minimum.
This lockout is about Bettman and Goodenow and don't kid yourself. If the only way Bettman can take Goodenow out is through the players, he doesn't care. He will kill the NHL. He may win the battle but he will lose the war when nobody comes back to the game, and when nobody comes back there are no revenues. That should be more of a concern to him than capping salaries, but he's too stupid to see that.
