Just so you know, this quote was 64 words long. What exactly could the league type out as a 'concept' that is 30 words long? They can't just say salary cap, as Goodenow says. There is more to a cap then just saying the cap is 31 million or whatever. Terms about when a player is an RFA, arbitration, etc. would have to be also discussed, in the 'concept', since a cap would impact those and Bettman and the boys would have to explain how they are effected. It isn't a concept till it is explained how everything is effected. How you'd even generalize how to sum that up in a mere 30 words in beyond me.
Bottom line, just because Goodenow says it, don't believe it. If Bettman had said that his proposals were actually 100 pages long, would you believe him?
