but there is still that slight chance that it really is, not only are you losing what now 600 million from holding out and missing games/pay cheques. but not you just lost that money that would be helping the transition just that little bit.
if the nhlpa never see's that 211 million or even the 300 million again, it really wasn't smart to hold out for that extra penny that you were hoping might come later on, and especially making the owners that were really pushing for the cba to be done mad in the process. even if make whole is not off the table, i'm going to guarantee that they never see that 300 million number again.
Whether it's smart to hold out or not it's the NHLPA negotiating committee's call whether to put it to a vote.
NHLPA is planning an outdoor game for next month if the lockout is still ongoing at that point:

Contingency plan for @nhlpa I am told their working on an outdoor game in early january. Cdn location said to be spectacular setting.
I disagree. Almost all players seem to support this.
I disagree with your disagreement. A lot of players will take tons of flak for saying something against the PA. They made a lesson of hamrlik so they are scared to speak up.

yes i'm sure the players who are making 500k a season, who will never see even remotely half of the money they just lost because of the lost paycheques are just thrilled that they are holding out on cba length, and contract lengths.
come back to me when the nhlpa actually proves that they all agree with it, and funny enough only way to prove that is by vote. but we won't see that because the hardliners are saying no.

They are a very tight knit group.
Based on anything in reality or the random twitter comment earlier today from Westgarth? Who also had no clue how make whole works oddly enough, but only knew that the owners "aren't negotiating in good faith".

I think you meant almost all vocal players( no more than 30-50?) seem to support this. With the way they bully others' opinion, you might get this idea. Now, a confidential voting would be quite interesting.

Let me throw it back at you. Aside from Hamrlik who has come out against it? You guys are grasoing at straws, IMO.
It's a way to make it appear like you are trying to move things forward without actually moving them forward. Dragging the clock out until mid-late Jan.
Public statements from players who are not in the upper echelon salary wise.
oh so darche, hainsey, campoli? those 3? basically the only ones who have spoke up, and if i remember correctly darche and campoli don't even have contracts. so in my opinion they should not even count towards anything.

Same thing for de-certifying. Just stall tactics. It's not a legit thing to move forward.

who would when you are threatened with personal harm? are you that blatenly blind to the workings of this PA? cole said he would love to take action against hamrlik on the ice when they get back to playing.

Hainsey has a cap hit of 4.5M. Not exactly part of the lower pay grade.
Capoli and Darche will probably never get another NHL contract and therefore they dont count. They are probably just trying to keep their NHLPA health benefits as long as possible.

In what way was Hamrlik made an example of? Was he fined? Punished in some way? Nope.

The funny thing is Cole would probably hurt himself trying to get at Hamrlik, and if he did make it, Hammer would probably kill him. And I would hope he does.
