Considering in a 50-50% split, the owners give up nothing on the previous CBA and the players walk down from 57%...it would favor the NHL/Owners.....plus there is almost certain to be some sort of term limits on contracts and/or prevention of manipulating the cap hit as some deals have.
Though I tend to agree with you, sorta. The only way the players get a CBA with a share of 50% or more IMO is if they present a deal in short order that takes a big step closer to 50%....big enough that the teams making money under the prior CBA have a strong motivation to keep the train rolling.
