In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
50 / 50 is huge as an offer from the owners, particularly in the PR war. As others have said, the players turning down a down-the-middle split would almost certainly cast them in a negative light with fans. The devil, as they say, is in the details.
The ball is definitely in the PA's court, and they almost have to come out with either a set of semi-reasonable tinkers to this offer, or an exquisitely detailed and explained counter-offer. Now we'll see if Donald Fehr is set to save or ruin the NHL, because if he weighs in with a scorched-earth stance, the season is indeed doomed.
