Told that PA proposed that players get last year's share plus 5 pct this yr regardless of schedule length/actual revenue...

Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie

Last year's share was 1.883B...plus 5 pct would be $1.977B...would likely eat 65-67 pct of revenue in 66-68 game season.

NHL is very frustrated by Fehr...they are going after him. The gloves are off now.

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC

Again, crux of dispute is memo from last night that was leaked. NHL believes Fehr "hid" details of "make-whole." One player says it was...

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC

Deliberately kept out of that memo because they knew it would get out and they didn't want to reveal specific details.

Chris Botta ‏@ChrisBottaNHL

Going after Fehr is the NHL's most disingenuous media ploy in, like, hours. Funny that Bettman said tonight, "Whatever it takes."

Aaron Portzline ‏@Aportzline

When talk of Fehr taking over NHLPA surfaced, NHL owners/GMs snickered and guffawed. When it became official, they gulped.

Michael Grange ‏@michaelgrange

Can confirm #NHLPA offer details by @NYP_Brooksie -- stunning if accurate. Players looking for $1.83B compounded by 5% annually.


John Shannon ‏@JSportsnet

Getting conflicting stories about PA ask.Suspect the 1.83 Billion plus 5% ask is to be basis of CBA. Shorten season would be pro-rated.

John Shannon ‏@JSportsnet

Told PA's discussion of $ was merely be basis of new system, not to be pay for short season.70 games would mean players get 85% of salary.

Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris

The NHLPA says it was looking for agreement on the structure of a deal with NHL -- then deal with affects of shortened season

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice

To back up what others have said, Devils players have all raved about job Don Fehr has done and flow of info -- especially compared to 2004.

Kevin McGran ‏@kevin_mcgran

To me, Fehr has been withholding key information from media, which I understand. Players all tell me they feel fully informed.

Renaud P Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS

Don Fehr:"we'll meet tomorrow morning internally. Don't know what the next step is."

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Fehr says league proposal for Make Whole not nearly good enough... Says both sides may meet Saturday but not for sure yet

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Fehr also denies that he's not fully communicated any of the league's offers to his players.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Fehr says NHLPA doesn't feel it is as far apart on core economic issues as NHL says they are...

Rob Rossi ‏@RobRossi_Trib

Craig Adams: 'If anybody is suggesting that Don’s holding information back. That’s totally untrue.' #NHLPA #NHL #Lockout @penguins

Bobby Orr today: "I said right from the beginning: Lock them in a room and stare [at each other] and make a deal." http://soc.li/6ZcHwcm

Renaud P Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS

Tough meeting today. Talks were good this week but some say its because Jeremy Jacobs (Bruins owner) was not there...until today.

I think it's a great way of sharing revenue. And teams actually get something for their buck.

Thanks MJL. At this point I'm becoming skeptical that a deal will happen. Hopefully they come to their senses and compromise. We'll see.
