It's good to know that they are at least trying to get something done. Hopefully the negotiations will be fruitful.

Something needs to be done... and SOON!

If the ECHL resorts to replacement players, it'll be a joke.

Should a strike go on for a while, where will players be released to from their AHL teams?
