Actually, becuase I know some here won't do it themselves, here is the math from that article:
Revenue: $2 billion
Average payroll: 41.6 million
Total Payroll: (41.6 million*30) $1.25 billion
% of revenue used for player salary: (1250000000/2000000000) 62.5%
So if we use your simple math,when the NHLPA offered 24% off discount .They were in effect willing to play for only 39% of the revenues.
