You gotta be kidding.
Fighting is waaaayyyyy down in the NHL. Watch some of the stuff from the 70's and 80's.
Haven't read how the meeting went yet. But it's gonna be a cold winter without the NHL this year.

No, I don't.
But I think they have a lot more work to do if they are gonna carve out a better deal. But I also think they are on their way to it, after seeing the last one they offered.

I hope it's finished.
Let the owners re-organize, hire the prima donnas at 1/3 wages, add a 35 million cap with revenue sharing and get back on the ice. The players (with their collosal egos) must be a little disenchanted by the fact that most polls show the fans 75-80+% behind the owners and league on this. The Great One made 3 million the year that he was with the Kings and they went to the Finals. He gave 1 million back because he missed a lot of games due to injury. If the Great One was only worth 3 million, what makes Roenick, past his prime, worth 5 million? I'll tell you: abso-fricking-lutely nothing.
Bust up the league, form a new one - add a European franchise or two plus bring in the Moscow Dynamo is what I say.

A little plainer
What makes it so a team, in order to satisfy its obligation to a player, needs to basically give him the team.
Think Pens and Mario.

well the owners caused their own problems
using expansin money for salaries. No one held a gun to disney's head and forced them to pay a 4 mill signing bonus to prospero. They spent like drunken sailors trying to buy the cup and now are whining about the contracts they signed. I think if they have a cap they must open ALL of the books for audits by the players. A lot of poormouth by the owners are a flat out lie.
