Cloned said:I did listen (and watch). It was on Sportsnet. He said something about how there was a rumour but that they weren't sure about the validity of that rumour. This was in regards to asking Bettman what he would do if the PA would phone him right after McCown hung up and told him they were accepting his offer. Bettman laughed and said something to the effect of "Well, I'm not saying we would accept it but that would be an interesting problem to have."

Hey, I'm only confirming that he mentioned a rumor. It was such a passing remark that I'm not even sure Bettman responded to that portion of it. And this rumor wasn't released, AFAIK... as I said I tuned out after Bettman left and I don't know whether or not McCown discussed it further. He may have decided it wasn't true. I'm just trying to corroborate what the original poster said, that's it. I'm not stating the rumor as being true here.Reilly311 said:yes, but this "players are making a new offer" is false. He's asking him "what if". This interview went on around 5 PM today, why would at 11Pm they relese this rumor/

I realize this, and I didn't mention that the players were working on a deal! I was confirming what I heard Bettmen say, which he wishes he had the problem of the players accepting the 42.5 mill offer. I think that it's done like dinner(season ). I will say that I do believe that the sides are going to comunicate often, because a deal needs to be done sooner then later. The NHL and NHLPA will try to minimize the damage eventually.Reilly311 said:He never said the players are formulating a new deal, thus this thread should be locked

According to 1200 Kevin Lee is expecting new proposal within the hour
Just an FYI
McCown: "... it is difficult to distinguish what is factual and what is not... but there is a news story out there, that we may in fact report on specifically later on, that players are now calling Mr. Goodenow and saying let's get back on the ice, take the deal."Reilly311 said:Ok, but the original poster of this thread said:
"angry players formulating proposal to deliver to NHL. Supposedly McCowen is talking about it right now. Some of us on another board are trying to confirm this."
Which is false.
