Tim Panaccio - Players are big losers under new agreement
http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/sports/12126774.htm

The details are still emerging, but it appears that the owners got a salary cap at $39 million, including benefits, with $37 million going to salaries.

So... does it include benefits or not? I was under the impression the 39M figure was without player benefits.

 

[ArtG]

the cap number includes benefits

 

[Jobu]

the cap number includes benefits

Not according to TSN.

Larry Brooks was a very, very bitter man today.

http://www.nypost.com/sports/50143.htm

THE FLIM-FLAM men who sit on the NHL Board of Governors can dance their little jig all right, now that they've won their precious percentage-of-the-gross hard salary cap. But as they're doing their polka, they should understand they are dancing on the grave of hockey's long-standing culture.

The league never has cared about the game itself, but what it takes to win. The league never has appreciated excellence. This is a league long dedicated to the lowest common denominator.

Therefore, once revenues hit $2.2B — and, with the inclusion of significantly more revenue streams into the gross than were previously accounted for in the old URO reporting method, that's a target reasonably reachable within a couple of years — the team payroll cap will increase to $41.1M per ($44.8M at $2.4B), meaning big-market clubs inclined to spend to the upper limit will have more space with which to attract prime time free agents wishing to escape small-market purgatory.

(James) Patrick sees better days for NHL

zing!

"(Avery) is making $700,000, which is ton of money, and he's basically a fourth-line pest," Patrick said. "He should be thanking his lucky stars. To go and spout off like that, it's self-serving."

"NHL's historic labor war at last finds way to peace"
