Buttonwood

The players are nothing more than entitled sheep. They lack the critical thinking to make their own decisions or see the world like the average member of society.
They can hum and haw about this deal all they want, but it is the best offer they are going to see (outside of some tweaks to periphery issues). Bettman has sat on this offer since June, and in a rational world it would work. It's the conclusion both sides (and 2 other pro leagues) likely have expected.
The players, lead by Fehr, do not strike me as rational, however. We'll see.
