#NHL players will have a chance to vote on whatever offer exists at the deadline...players give me the impression they'll vote to play
Next Wednesday at the latest....tentative deal - Symba007
sooooooo Fehr is saying "Lets see if we can squeeze anything more out of them before conceeding?" C'mon thats stupid. Vote TODAY, and have the players come back with a simple coutner of. We will accept TODAY if the schedule is 52 games not 48 since it is a week before your deadline. More games = more $.

They have a lifestyle to keep up... There is a reason many of these guys go broke after retiring... Player making 500k takes home in 6 yrs 1.8m, it's Pocket change if you think about it... they need to make enough money for a lifetime. - MnGump
They make more than enough money for a lifetime, if they're too stupid to make it last then that's their own problem
I would be questioning my leadership too if they completly missed a change in HRR language for a whole week.
I would be even more pissed at my leadership if they knew the whole time and just waited to use it as a way to piss everyone off at just when thing were almost wrapped up.
I would be even more pissed at my leadership if we said we were going to disclaim and pulled out like a bunch of pussies then came up with the above excuss to go through the whole DOI sham again.
It's quite easy to see IMO....back in December when everyone thought there was a deal to be had there were rumours that Fehr told the players "I think we can get more". From an outsiders perspective it looks as though they will get more signing a deal next week than if they signed one back in December or even today for that matter.
At the end of the day the players are going to have to look back and ask themselves "was it worth it"? I doubt it will be especially since the fans are so pissed, but they are only going to lose half a seasons salary and STILL have an entire playoffs complete with bonuses etc.
It's real screwy and it sucks for us, but they WILL sign a deal next week, and it's probably been their plan all along. I could actually see it going to a players vote next week, they accept, then Fehr is the scapegoat and will look like the bad guy, just like Bettman is for the owners.
