DR said:well these are risks they are already facing. the point is a whole bunch of new risks are about to show up for hte owners. what if the owners were counting on the players caving and they players dont ?
i think the owners are in for the next round of hurting.
round 1: owners lost 1.5 billion in 10 years
round 2: players lost 1b so far (and 1.5 if the season is cancelled) in 1 year
round 3: owners start losing their franchises.
owners need to put the honey down, the players have already shown the resolve that has cost them 1 BILLION dollars on one year.
of all the offers we have heard, not one would be difficult for the players to say no to.

Again your lack of logic shines through...
When owners start losing their franchises, players will lose money permanently.
If the value of the franchise is $100M and the payroll is $35M, already in 3 years players have lost more money than the owner of the franchise. Think about it...
If I were a 3rd - 4th line player in Pens or Canes I'd be quite worried right now and calling Goodenow to make the deal sooner than later.
