^ Not sure but this was in today's Montreal Gazette newspaper:

MONTREAL — Is this Erik Cole’s last season in the NHL?

Cole, speaking to the media following a workout Friday in Brossard, said family considerations and unhappiness over some elements in the new collective bargaining agreement will force him to review his situation at the end of the season.

“I enjoyed my time at home and the kids are in school here until the end of June and we’ll re-evaluate things after that,” said Cole, who first raised the prospect of early retirement in October.

“I want to have a conversation with the (Players Association) about some of the escrow stuff and some of things that are a little fearsome about the new CBA,” said Cole. “Family-wise, it’s a transition year with my daughter (starting high school) next year, and I think it’s something to be considered and everybody should consider this when they look at the new CBA, not just the way it affects the entire group but how it affects you individually.”

Who signed no?

Erik Cole, Logan Couture, and probably a few others who are angry at the owners.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I'm sure Toews said no then as well? But wow, Cole is being a real negative Nancy about all this crap.

 

[Krishna]

I worry about players like Toews and Couture in the future taking this lockout personal like the players did this time. You don't want them corrupting the young players into believing the crap they believe

Who signed no?

Slava Malamud ‏@SlavaMalamud

No confirmation on the rumor that the 2% of players who voted no were Ilya Kovalchuk and a team of Putin's ballot-stuffers.

Player ratification vote: 667 yes, 12 no - 98.2 percent. 679 of 763 players voted (89 percent)

How the hell do 84 players not vote?

Plenty of crap spread by both sides over the past few months...

Yep, but almost everyone on both sides shut up after the deal was done.. Then you have these few clowns. However will they feed their dogs?!

It isn't like the outcome was in doubt.

That's a much higher percentage than generally vote in union elections / certifications, by the way.

The NHL's ability to impose severe fines on the owners kept more of their non-sense from surfacing, I think.

well my guess is NHL PA had enough to where those 84 didn't have to vote to where it wouldn't have mattered.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

ok, im guessing they will announce the MOU sign by what 8 or 9pm tonight,

I would feel GM's need this night to start signing free agents, trades, players probably standing buy ready to fly to camps.

@Russostrib: Told Memo of Understanding should be completed and signed "very soon" #nhl #nhlpa

Hope it's true. Curious to see the activity level right after its signed

Edit:

@reporterchris: The memorandum of understanding has been signed. The NHL lockout is officially over after 119 days. #dropthepuck

 

[FlyersFan61290]

@coreypronman: Earlier report by @TSNBobMcKenzie said trades/signings could occur two hours after the MOU signed. Tick tock tick tock.

If true I'll probably be sleeping when things start to go down which is a little disappointing.
