¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 and by they, i mean any player who signed an enormous contract in the last year or two. that any contracts that drop significantly in the final years are being talked about as they were made to get around the cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thanks for that even though I was hoping to see Zach in a blueshirt (knew it was very slim to none) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its what we did with Richards, I didnt even want to sign him for that long. I really hope long front loaded contracts like that stop. It kinda ruins the game. I can understand for players who are home grown and the face of your franchise like Crosbitch or Stamkos, but Brad Richards, Kovalchuk, and Parise getting long term deals like that is just dumb.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Meetings ended, 6 hrs today, meetings tomorrow scheduled, all good news so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Seems like good momentum for a deal. Hopefully they can get something done soon. And hopefully the agreement runs for a number of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckingPowers Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I feel we may see one by the end of next week the latest. Its just a shame it took this long for both sides to get in a room to negotiate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanRees Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Definitely be prepared for more than 5, the league won't want any hiccups with the centennial season in 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckingPowers Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Fehr memo sent around today http://www.tsn.ca/story/?id=409136 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Dredger is seriously annoying on twitter. I understand Fehr sending that out to the players and it was bound to leak, but he's gone out of his way to undermine the Union by trying to "scoop" the details of whats being negotiated.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 THIS is undermining the NHLPA by this bullshit, not some memo that TSN.CA posted a day or two ago, this was from before any negotiation meetings were put in place this week. dude is a class a troll. Darren Dreger @ DarrenDreger Not to say the players are caving...they're not, but they want focus to remain on negotiations and away from petty memos to media. Expand Reply Retweet Favorite 3 Nov Darren Dreger @ DarrenDreger I'm certain of this, based on number of texts received from players. They want a deal and want their leadership to focus on getting it done. Expand 3 Nov Darren Dreger @ DarrenDreger For the record, it was a player related source who provided the tip and the NHL reluctantly confirmed the story just before 6pm Fri. Expand 3 Nov Darren Dreger @ DarrenDreger Rather than criticize language of reports, PA leadership would be better served working on ways to make a deal for its players. Expand 3 Nov Darren Dreger @ DarrenDreger Formal or otherwise, the fact the owners are willing to cover the costs of Make Whole is in play. I'm surprised D.Fehr isn't more pleased.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 So things aren't looking great. I was pretty optimistic about getting some resolution and games in December. I'm starting to feel less sure about a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmanfredi Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Yep. Looks like it's a little too late now. Its a shame, I feel like last season was big year for the NHL for gaining new fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is anecdotal (at best) but I had like 4 good friends really follow the Bruins for the first time last season. This is such a fucking bummer.
