They shouldn't accept it. They should make the NHLPA take the final one they offered tuesday night or whenever they did it.
rockon83 said:$42 million cap x 30 teams = $1,260 million / 700 players = $1.8M avg. salary.
Aren't we currently at $1.8M avg salary and teams are losing money? Wasn't the goal $1.3M avg salary, requiring a cap at $30M???
If the cap is $42M aren't we going to see teams disappear? Didn't the Canadians come out and say they couldnt survive at a cap of $42M? How on earth could the smaller markets survive?

Id bet some teams do dramatically increase the payroll.Chaos said:For about the 8,745,091,162nd time, every team is not going to spend 42 million. You think Minnesota or Nashville is going to come out and spend $42 million next year(I use those 2 teams as they were 2 of the bottom 5 spenders last year).

As others have said, it's the other stuff, not the main number that needs to be changed. Will the PA accept the NHL's framework, with a different number?
Hard to say. My gut says no.
