The thing that is so crafty about it is that Fehr was able to push what they want, while pretty much taking the NHLPA out of the middle. Its not a Big vs Little (org/owners) battle.
The luxury tax facet will be the make or break portion of it I think...
I think its a fantastic idea... if you want to continue to have small market teams that repress the spending of capable orgs, you almost have to have a luxury tax. A hard cap wont, and isnt working, when you have teams like the Flyers, Rags, Leafs, etc.. and then teams like Phx, Florida, Nashville..

I didn't think there was a luxury tax in either sides proposal.
