I'm not so sure about people not knowing. I still think Fehr knew there was going to be a lockout and has promoted this line of thinking of "unity" among the players.
And I think he knew the difference between revenue and profit........unlike Parise, who doesn't seem to have a clue.

Frankly, I think Fehr wants this, likes this............I don't think he has any vested interest in having this settled. I bet he is still taking his salary (and I bet his brother still is also)..... Just an opinion....
How many lockouts has Fehr been involved in? And how long has he stayed in those positions afterwards? I honestly don't know.
Do I think that Suter/Parise/Weber took smart business advantage of the cba they were operating under? Yes....... but I also think one sold his integrity/honesty down the river.
