If the players offered to play this season (12-13) under a 50% HRR split with a no strike clause so both sides could negotiated a long term deal CBA - I think we'd be watching hockey atm.
The NHL made it clear how retirement contracts were going to screw teams over and anyone dumb enough to sign during this 1 year CBA has no excuses. All the rest isn't game breaking enough to lose a year.
