In which city do you think the press conference to annonce the end

of the lockout will be held Toronto or New York? I say New York.

NY 100%, Media captial of the world. No doubt at all...it will be held in NYC.

NY 100%, Media captial of the world. No doubt at all...it will be held in NYC.

Plus it's the headquarters of the NHL.

I think the better question is "Will he be there when the deal is signed?".

That's a very good question. I would say yes only because he will

be "force" by his employer (the players) to sign it. But make no

mistake BG is not in the leader of the pack anymore he's been

replace by Linden. And thank God for that. Trevor Linden and the

players knows what's at stake.

Not a good sign that Ted Saskins did not report progress.

Not a good sign that Ted Saskins did not report progress.

Because he's been sweetness and light all along, right?

That, and any sort of progress towards a CBA (like Daly alluded to) consists of steps backwards for the 'PA.

 

[Mess]

Well apparently the did decide what to do when a team trades a player and picks up some of that salary

RANGERS, CAPS TO SHARE JAGR'S SALARY CAP CHARGE

June 3, 2005 -- The NHL will split the post-rollback annual $8.36M salary cap charge on Jaromir Jagr's contract equally between the Rangers and Caps, executive sources have told The Post.

Sources yesterday confirmed that the terms of the Jan. 23, 2004 trade that brought Jagr to New York from Washington stipulate that the Rangers and Caps are each responsible for paying half of No. 68's salary. Which means that after the 24-percent contract rollback that will become part of the new CBA, Jagr will cost Glen Sather's team only $4.18M per against cap, an entirely reasonable amount, after all.

Gary Bettman's league-endorsed plan to assess teams according to the percentage of contracts they are actually paying, also means that the Caps will start at $11.225M under the cap, with Olaf Kolzig as the team's only bona fide NHL player under contract. It is not known how many other teams will be affected by similar assessments under prior trades.

I havent read anything in this thread or any other thread related to the lockout but judging by those meetings, the aftermath, rumours, sources, etc does it look good? When do you think a deal will get done? Are we close or what.. any info would be greatly appreciated.

BG will be in NYC for the PC of the signing of the CBA all while listening to the NBA Finals on ESPN Radio...then he will go home and watch TV, namely the following channels: NBC, ABC, UPN, CBS, MSNBC, CNN
