Interested to see the fallout from the players if they don't go in 2018. Ovechkin already said he'll leave the league.

I hope it gets done. I'm also very curious to see the fallout if it doesn't though..

Lol if the nhl cant come up with 10mil...no one should go to any games...the worst lenny baseball players make that salary per annum.. might want to check bettman's per annum with a crow bar to pry the purse...

Interesting tactic. The article is very critical of the proposal, but I think it could work. Are the players really dissatisfied with the CBA that they just finished negotiating?
