Yeah, if they come back and say not good enough and don't negotiate... then it will be a set back.Big Ev wrote:shabbs wrote:If the NHL rejects this, then I think the NHL will go dark for a long time... this is it.
You mean flat-out without a counter, right? Because if they are 182 million apart then they won't just accept the offer right away. This would just lead to serious bargaining and hammering out a deal.

Yeah, I get their frustration, but c'mon. They're just butthurt from getting whipped in the last lockout.

That will no doubt tick off Bettman and the NHL. I guess that is the NHLPA's strategy here. It was also mentioned that the NHLPA will "give" on the 5% variance item and possible others in contract rights in the hopes that the NHL will give on some of their items, in particular max contract length.
It also seems the NHL and NHLPA have agreed on at least one thing... and that is to move up the NHL Free Agency date to 48 hours after the Stanley Cup Final... or June 15th, whichever is later:

Come on! This has to happen now. So damn close.
That's a lotta cake. They should divide the remaining $182 million amongst the real owners, the fans.
