I'll go through your Pejorative Slured post and point out the obvious flaws.
The only way for the NHL to have long term success is through the cap, a low cap that will move when revenues move, you can have an impartial accountant that gets paid by both parties to determine what is revenue and what isn't.
Wow, thats for that great insight, right there you lose all possible credibility that an average human being comes in with. You of course come in with less, well, because clearly you're stupid.
The faster people realize that the players shouldn't have any say in this, the better. They talk a lot about a free market, yet they're in a ****ing union, there is nothing free market about this. If this was real free market, the owners would have had their salary cap 10 years ago. Because in real business, if the employees ***** and complain, they find themselves out on the street very fast. And hope that soon the NHLPA realizes they are holding no cards, because they aren't the ones writing the cheques.
The NHL can ask for whatever they **** they want, they are the league, and without those owners, all these NHL'ers would be working in garages making 1/100 of what they are currently making.
The league will be better off when the players realize they are just employees, and hopefully, soon replaced employees.
