I think it's ****ED as well.
Ok they offered a 52 million cap, team by team.
**** that's awesome when they said they wouldn't even take a cap.
Now you're telling me that after seven flippin hours they couldn't find some sort of middle ground. ie mid 40's? That is absolutley ridiculous.

Yeah they have another prosposal so say the sources"
Sources say the NHLPA proposal is as follows:
- A cap of $52 million but with provisions for teams to spend as much as 10 per cent more than that on three occasions in a six-year period, with a luxury tax incorporated. The luxury tax rates would be 25 per cent on $40-44 million; 50 per cent on $44-48 million; 75 per cent on $48-52 million and 150 per cent on $52-$57.2 million.
Sources say the NHL proposal is as follows:
- A hard cap of $40 million, with a 50 per cent luxury tax on $34-40 million.
As for the possibility of negotiations, sources on the NHLPA side are suggesting the union will only negotiate off the $52 million figure if the NHL presents a detailed, meaningful revenue sharing plan.
On the NHL side of the equation, sources are suggesting the league isn't prepared to go much higher than the $40 million cap figure.

To reject the offer is F'n Stupid I agree, its 12 off wow! At least now they're accepting the idea of a cap!!! Come on give us our game back... I went to a Bulls game last weekend with my parents (drank my first beer woohoo lol) the game was awesome but its still not the same (Belleville Bulls - OHL)

This is like retail, you pay what the market will allow
Too many lawyers in this for it not to be fouled up
I miss hockey it has been a shining example of a genuine sport but greed and ego stepped in and the fans pay and pay and pay (first no hockey and then super high ticket prices.
Tell me again what is in this for me

^^^notta a damn thing but to be able to pay 50-70$ a ticket to see it live... there down to 49 mill cap now... bettman says no way not affordable soo who knows.. the finally agree on a cap now it's fighting over the price of the cap.. the way I see it players agreed to the cap the showed progress, NhL needs to lighten up on the cap I'd say 45.75$ Million would be a good medium point it's in the middle of what each team wants... and I'd like to hear how bettman thinks that cap wouldnt work...
