The only thing that he mentioned about the lockout is that he is as positive as ever that a deal will get done, sooner or later, but soon enough to have a well-planned 2005-06 NHL season.
He mentions that the NHL needs no rule changes or bells or whistles. What they need is to call the damned obstruction! AMEN!!!!!!!! He does support the plan to make goalie equipment smaller so they don't look like the Michelin Man. He says if that doesn't do the trick, then maybe they should consider the wider blue and red lines like they had in the AHL this season. He says that if the obstruction is called, yes we will see a parade to the penalty box at first, but players and coaches will eventually get the message.

scary that none of these guys really explain WHY they think a deal will be done sooner then later.
i agree about rule changes...but i think they need some goaltender equiptment changes though.
The nets need to be bigger, that's that. Along with the equipment being smaller. I liked the one that they showed on tsn's page a few days ago, I hope they go with it.
As far as the lockout stuff, I think why people feel it will get done eventually is because the framework is there. The problem now will be stupid pissing matches over small stuff and that could make things crawl for a little.

Dennis Beyak is saying that Goodenow isn't happy and won't sign off on the deal, and is trying to break it off. Same 24-37.5 range being talked about.
He's saying most of the stuff is agreed on, but Gary and Bob have to look over everything and agree.

Yeah he said he's trying to get the hardliners motivated. I doubt it will work.

Dennis Beyak from the Score is on Mojo Radio and has said that he spoke to a couple of players who have informed him that a PA ratification vote via e-mail will take place this weekend. He is saying that Goodenow will not sign off on the deal and is still trying to derail the process. Beyak is saying a salary floor of $24 mil and a cap of $37.5 mil with linkage and revenue sharing. Some players want a full blown meeting and not just an e-mail vote. Said Bill Guerin was a hardliner but is now on Linden and Gartner's side to get a deal done ASAP. Basically, it is Linden vs Goodenow, whether players want to admit it or not. He also says the rookie cap is about down to $500,000 plus bonuses. He is not confident about the owners giving in to honoring 2004-05 salaries.

Beyak continues to say that best case scenario according to some players is that there will be a ratification vote by the PA via e-mail this weekend....WVpens said:
He personally doesn't think it will be that quickly done...

Beyak also confirmed that he thought that Goodenow was going to play the 24% rollback card to extend contracts a year ..

If true I feel so bad for those rookies. Making 6 figures in your first year in the NHL. I wish my summer job threw me under the bus. I'm tired of hearing about how the young guys are being wronged in this process. Rookie contracts were too high as from the last CBA and everyone knew they were going to be coming down. If the rookies feel they should be earning more then go out there and play well to earn a raise next time your contract is up.
I like how progress is being made, but I'm not going to be optimistic until everything is signed. Like Bob said earlier, there are still things that could derail a deal being done.
