so what would be the best way to make a compromise? I never agreed with the players getting that much over 50% but hey the owners were the ones that said that was the deal they wanted after the last lockout. Now they got the percentage they should be flexible on how it gets there imo. They sure as hell should be willing to honor the contracts they already signed.

I agree with a soft landing and a gradual reduction in the player's share. That includes no immediate salary rollback.

The first thing that has to happen is that they have to agree on what 50/50 really is and how to get there.

You've been down there to long

"Canceling the Winter Classic so early (essentially as a scorched earth tactic in order to prevent the NHLPA from using it as negotiating leverage) is a terrible sign for just how far downhill this entire damnable exercise of greed, ego and hubris has rolled. "

Agreed Bill, I think that has summed it up nicely.

Hope all in Eastern PA and NJ stay safe and dry. Good luck.
