All regular posters know that I have been pro owner. They lay out the investment and sign the paychecks and I believe they have the right to determine the system in which players should be remunerated for their services.
Having said that there is a deal to be made and all it would take is for one person or a group of persons that actually care about the game and the fans to show some initiative and forget about posturing or trying to win this war outright. It will take a Visionary or a Marriage Counsellor type person that actually understands how to break down walls instead of making it bigger and stronger like Goodenow and Bettman have both been doing.
The deal is right there before your eyes. Both sides know it but both sides are too proud and too stubborn to give in to one another. My source tells me that Bettman is going to call the season by late this week or early next week so get off your ASS and get this thing fixed ASAP. Admit it, it's going to be a floating figure that links revenue (which is easy to agree upon) to expenses. It's going to be a luxury tax semi-soft cap system that moves upward and downward depending on gross revenues in each given year. It's going to be a luxury tax system that kicks in a 100% or more at 54% of gross revenues. The deal is there for the making so it's time to put the FANS FIRST as well as all other employees that are counting on the NHL to resume play. GET ON WITH ALREADY. YOU CAN PUT TOGETHER THE MOST CREATIVE CBA IN PRO SPORTS - ONE THAT CAN BE THE ENVY OF ALL OTHER PRO ATHLETES AND PRO SPORTS FRANCHISE OWNERS
