2012-13 Lockout Discussion Part VIII: "The 11th Hour" Edition

[Riche16]

Anyone who saw Bettman's presser knows two things:

A) He was very happy... almost giddy

&

B) We know why he never looks happy, nor should he ever again... might have been the creepiest thing I've ever seen.

It won't be once we promote Miller, Jean, Fasth, and Lindberg.

Fast and Lindberg are contracted in Sweden and will not be here in NA this season, Jean has (unfortunately) cooled off a lot as well.
Miller looks promising but probably needs a Full year in the AHL first. Newbury, Haley and Kolarik are most likely the first three Whalepackers to get a shot as fwds though on the NYR, excluding Kreider of course.

So when is the trade deadline? lol

[Lundsanity30]

the bottom 6 again guys? maybe the 4th line, but our 3rd line is not going to be bad.

He said it on Hockey Central:

Rumours are circulating that coaches are now calling players, telling them to be ready for training camp on Dec. 14, MacLean and Kypreos said.

“@JSportsnet: Was just told by an NHL Coach, that since @RealKyper reported Coaches contacting players, the teams have been warned to cease and desist”

[nevesis]

“@TheNYRBlog: A trustd source of mine close to Rangers has informed me the team has called its playrs back from Europe.

Anyone know this guys source?

"@aaronward_nhl: After the BOG meetings, NHLPA presented NHL with a proposal. #TSN"

[CM PUNK]

[Jabroni1994]

"@KatieStrangESPN: #CBA NHLPA waiting for NHL while league caucuses."

[Tawnos]

If this is really happening, we still have to sign Del Zotto.

Correct. And they won't have a long period of training camp to play chicken, either.

This proposal by the union will determine where this goes. If the NHLPA doesn't deliver what it said it would verbally then talks off rails.

i'd bet $$ that the deal will be done before he even gets on a plane to fly back to ny.

[BroadwayBlues]

The 3rd line will be fine.

Should be : Haglin-Halpurn-Pyatt
The "depth" is Miller. As long as continues to progress.

[ltrangerfan]

As was said earlier.... Thank the Penguins.

Which may or may not be a problem on how 2nd contracts are affected by the new CBA.

Personally I am hoping for a "2nd contract paid in mixed fruit" clause that the PA accepts in trade for the owners acceptance of no predefined contract term limits.

I'm going to wait 3 hours before I react to any details of the NHLPA's offer this time.

[Jabroni1994]

NHL is back at the table.

[Grind Jam Grind]

Come to the lockout thread on the NHL board. It's a great thread right now.
