Ron said that he thinks the players should/should have taken the NHL's offer..

basicly the standard, NHLPA is screwed, what are they thinking stuff..

He said he still supports the principle behind the unions argument, but that he cannot see the PA ever getting a better deal than this..

:lol

I am not sure about this but I think that the NHL doesn't have to go before a judge to declare impasse. Is that correct?

The league declares an impasse. You take it before a judge. You have to present you most recent offer for consideration by the PA one last time. If they reject it. The say, ok, the NHL's last proposal is in effect. Then the NHLPA would go on strike and go to the labor board. That's where the fn begins. In a nutshell, that's all that's necessary. Declaring impasse is easy. Getting past the labor board is the hard part.

My understanding is that the owners declare impasse, and throw open the doors. The PA then proceeds with a complaint against the NHL. The legalities roll from there.
And do you know I long it could take from the moment the PA file a complaint to the judge rending a decision?

Scenerio (and a likely one): Impasse, NHLPA goes on strike and goes to the labor board. Scabs, more than half the players cross and the union is effectively broken. Does the case before the labor board then remain to potentially bite the owners down the road?

The players would be crossing a picket line. They wouldn't be welcomed back into the union. They'd then become scabs too. Has no effect on the proceedings except to make someone look bad depending on the circumstances.

What I am saying is that the strike collapses completely in my scenerio. Half cross first, then all the players cross. Does the case continue?
