I mean, look at the English Premier League (Football) We ain't got problems have we...
2 lockouts in what, 7 years? C'mon...
There's no CBA, salary caps etc in soccer outside of the MLS. So there's nothing to strike over.
That's part of the problem with the EPL, there's next to no parity, and money talks. Even the contracts are re-newed when a player changes team. The top clubs just poach the better talent.
Wow that's pretty shocking about Landeskog, especially with Duchene and Statsny around.
I think they made the right choice though. Who cares if he's young, he's gonna be a great captain for a long time.
So the NHL has offered a 50-50 split of HRR, they've removed their plans to change up rules on player contracts (ELCs/FA etc), and they've offered a protection plan so that players don't have a salary rollback (instead, the year-to-year salaries are redistributed to be less frontloaded). NHL offer was 6+ years and requires a full 82 game sched for this season, starting Nov 2.
PA has a conference between Execs and the player negotiating committee tonight at 5pm. Expected to announce if they accept or reject the offer tomorrow.

If the players take 50-50...offers on other keys issues as follows...
Free Agency would be at 28 and 8 years of service
Entry Level Contracts would be 4 years in Length
Revenue sharing would be at or near 200 million dollars
Contract Lengths would be [capped at] 5 years.
Arbitration would still exist
The only core issue that remains intact from previous NHL offers is the length on contracts (on all new deals)
Copied from BoH board. Contract concessions may not have been made after all.
Looks like an extra $50M Revenue Sharing (or more), + 1 more year on ELCs, which makes UFA status one year later. Prospective contracts capped at 5 years.

Oh man, if that goes through, there are going to be a billion injuries this season as teams try to play 5 games a week.

It's the start of the end - good news, we will have hockey by November.
The big thing here is that at 82 games the players get their full salary - so even if they have to take a little less or defer some to following years, it is better than only taking 80% of your full salary.
