This pisses me off so much. My good is hurting, I'm hurting, come on guys.

They really need to condense teams or do something real to fix this thing. When you lose two season in a rather short period of time something major is broken.

 

This isn't a percentage point difference in revenue sharing.

Actually...it is, among other things.

The other things are the issues that I think they need to resolve. I think the NHL is getting themselves into a deeper hole now that is not going to go away when the lockout is settled. Settling on the split may answer the problems that existed in August but I think the revenue for the NHL is going to tank moving forward.

I love it the players union wants to be a union until they decide to disband it........................................after contract talks are over they want to be fully reconized as a union again............either you are or not a union...................not just when it is convenient to be one!

You do realize this is just a negotiation tactic, right?

Yes and it is nonsense to think people are that stupid to buy the bulls***.....................same thing when the NFLPA did it. If season is lost again I hope fans boycott buying tickets to the games and watch them at home.

To make it worse, I have the Hawks as one of my favorite teams on my ESPN app, so I am constantly reminded of who/when they should be playing. Big home game tonight vs. Nashville & Pekka Rinne.

Decent hands there.

I removed them, just so I didn't have to see it.

An NHL player says the NHL made a new offer to the NHLPA on Thursday, one which moved on contract term limits, buyouts and variance...

 

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger

 

Among the changes in the new proposal, the NHL adjusted its max contract length from 5 to 6 yrs. Boosted the variance from 5% to 10%.

Decent step for the NHL, now we have to see how the union responds.

 

They aren't THAT far away from each other...it'd be completely ridiculous if they can't get an agreement done. But we've come to expect ridiculousness.

Conference call with the PA and NHL at 11. Alot of rumors that this lockout will finally end soon. We'll see.

This is where Fehr usually pulls a fast one.

I've seen postings on message boards saying NBC has sent notices to advertisers that the NHL will return on 1/19.

Not sold on this, since I don't trust either side, but if they are indeed sending word to advertisers, this would indicate something is imminent.

 

In maybe-related news, the ever-wacky Ilya Bryzgalov has left his KHL team:

NHL inches closer to a deal with PA.Still some major disagreements between the sides on core issues.Deal is still a work in progress.

 

Renaud Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS

 

But the NHLPA agreed (with some conditions) that the next CBA will be 10 years and not 8 like they previously asked.

John Buccigross ‏@Buccigross

 

NHL will happen, folks. Extreme optimists say tonight--cautious say the 10th/11th. Still far on pension & that's very important to players

Anyone else getting up early to watch the World Juniors? USA plays for gold against Sweden on Saturday after blowing out Canada today.

Sounds like each team will get two buyouts for 2013-14

 

Renaud Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS

 

Nothing is done in cba until everything is done, but NHLPA agreed that buyouts before 2013-14 season, will count against players share.

I'm going to have a hard time caring about the NHL when it comes back.
