Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Hey look, the players are complaining again.

Even IF the NHL clarified everything, I can't imagine most of the players being smart enough to even understand any of it. Their job is to skate and shoot pucks into nets, not to crunch numbers and make business deals.

I'm not sure what's more insulting.
Zedge confusing Furry-GAF for NHL-GAF.
or Soc confusing NHL-GAF for Poli-GAF.

I am shocked.
Hey guys
Hey guys
If the NHL goes over by 3% this year
That means over 6 years the players cover .5% per year
if someone retires they may have to cover it!!!
That's about $22,000 share per player per year
Or about $30 per player per year for every player that retires
Yep. They're bitching about $30.

$30 is a lot of money when you only make a minimum of $550k per year.

Dang it Soc, this is a political free zone!
They're basically the same at this point. Posters impotently arguing about two wealthy men deciding what's best for millions of people with a good chance that things will still be just as depressing come November.

Sounds like a pretty solid offer, can't wait to see what Krys Barch thinks about it.
No more Shanabans ?

Are current contracts going to be grandfathered in or rollbacked caphit wise? Because the Wild are going to be fucked in 2013-2014 with half of their cap ($30m) devoted to 4 players...
:lol

I wonder what Kessel thinks about all this.

I am guessing cap hits are grandfathered in, under the new proposed CBA, the cap hit is the amount paid and that amount cannot vary more than 5% from year to year so no more $10M in year and $2M in year 2 type deals.
As for the actual money, the players take a (12% ?) hit in escrow but the NHL will reimburse existing contracts over time so they get exactly what they signed for, it may just be a big fat check when the contract expires or when the player retires.
Apparently the players are wondering if they get interest on this reimbursement. I am guessing no and I expect them to ask for it this week.
I'm actually a bit concerned about Byfuglien. 1 week training camp? Has he even touched any ice but the one that cools his desserts? That's gonna be quite the site.

... 'hey are you gonna finish that donut ?"
Interesting that they will allow this.
I wonder if the "Wade Redden" rule will go into the CBA, I can imagine James Dolan throwing shit at Bettman at the next NHL meeting for not being able to burying Redden in Connecticut anymore.
Like Kessel would even ask

One of most interesting aspects of NHL proposal is aimed at punishing clubs more than players, with regard to existing back-diving deals.
Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Any existing deal in excess of 5 yrs would carry cap hit in every year of contract, even if player were to retire with year(s) left.
Sounds like it's not grandfathered, teams with long contracts are going to have to bend over.

Luongo is never leaving Vancouver.

TURN THAT SHIT DOWN, FEHR. STAY STRONG. WE CAN STILL LOSE THIS SEASON AND RETURN TO THE TABLE NEXT SUMMER
By the time these contracts are up, those cap hits will be nothing.

Flyers would be SO screwed long term with that plan. Have to sign G just as the cap is dropping.

How does that work with players that have big contracts but are on LTIR?
Hate to go all Socreges here but, if you'll look at your post from June:
So you're clearly stating you expect the players share to INCREASE a touch, not go down to 50/50.
For perspective, some contracts that could potentially fuck their teams if that detail goes through:
Luongo will be 42 in his last year
Bryz will be 39
Kovalchuk will be 41
Lecavalier will be 39
Ehrhoff will be 38 (most likely to reach the end of the contract)
Hossa will be 42
Zetterberg will be 40
Pronger will be 42 (might retire soon, too)
Richards will be 39
The lockout takes its toll on all of us.

I actually appreciate it. I knew bruce was full of shit, but all I could muster was an lol.Fei said:

He's on a 35+ contract already so his cap hit isn't going away no matter what.
I hope a modified version of this proposal is accepted. Not just because I want hockey back (OMG, Hall, Eberle, Nuge, Schultz, Hemsky, MPS, Yak, SQUEEEE), but also because it sounds like it's gonna have a clusterfuck effect on a bunch of teams. And that'll be fun to watch: teams will be screwed, but they'll inevitably find holes in the CBA to squirm through.
But who are we kidding? The NHLPA is going to:
1. Reject the offer
2. Wait a couple weeks
3. And propose a counteroffer wherein they still don't offer any compromises based on the current revenue #s
Sigh.

You know... I've just been assuming Bettman was the one to blame for this lockout but after this proposal, it doesn't seem like he's the bad guy.
I'm wearing tinted glasses though. Been a Bettman hater forever. Maybe that's about to change? But who do I start hating on now? Loluongo?!
Fucking cap space...

....so this is why Burke hasn't done anything
Tyler Myers and Ehrhoff could combine for a $20M cap hit next year. Ville Leino's cap hit could go up to $6M last year. That's almost half the proposed cap for the year. Hahahaha fuck this cancel the season. My god.
Burke must have seen this coming for years if that's your measure!

It was projected in the summer that GMs won't be doing much due to the coming lockout.
Instead they went all out to get things done before the CBA expired.
I say Burke played it cool and knew whatever he did would screw the team over financially.
