Lockout

And now the relocation fee crap doesn't matter, because Cotsonika just RT'd someone who said the PA never considered it.

Bueno.

Are they meeting yet?

Why wouldn't they bring it up? The owners backed themselves into a corner. Players have literally all the leverage right now.

You can agree to it, but in the end, if no teams are added and no teams relocate, what's the difference?

If they had all the leverage, they would be getting paid to play hockey. Leverage will not sign a paycheck.

I think our best hope is that Fehr and Bettman get drunk tonight for New Year's, maybe they'll sign something together once they're hammered enough.

by **Grunthy** on Mon Dec 31, 2012 5:07 pm

Good sign that they are still meeting and no news has been leaked? Good or bad news that is.

Per Katie Strang:

NHL has been given the NHLPA counterproposal and is now meeting internally. Stay Tuned

by **no name** on Mon Dec 31, 2012 5:11 pm

I got wind that some last minute re-visions of the CBA are being made... THis isn't looking to good. Not sure how serious Fehr is taking this.

I think they're haggling over whether Dick Clark is eligible to play in the CHL.

That would be impressive if he could play hockey this year... :pop:

CHL? He would be the best offensive player in Wilkes-Barre. Sign Dick Clark now!

Looks like a few tweaks in the counter offer but nothing major. This could be good? Source = multiple twitter accounts, just search "nhl"

by **malksby8771** on Mon Dec 31, 2012 5:24 pm

Yea just like Ulf said, I interpret this tweet positively.

Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper
#NHL has new #NHLPA proposal and now reviewing it internally. Hearing a few tweaks in offer but sounding like no major changes as of now.

by **Grunthy** on Mon Dec 31, 2012 5:32 pm

Could it be over? I think we are seeing the last negotiations.

Until you get to the ending part...

Section 14. part 3, sentence 4. Once said CBA is signed and all parties are in agreeence of said document. Gary Betman must kiss my hairy butt cheek. Then the deal is finalized.

I don't know, the owners just may agree to that.

by **MRandall25** on Mon Dec 31, 2012 5:56 pm

I think a lot of people on both sides would agree to that.

Make Fehr and Bettman kiss each other's butts and it's a deal.

This is getting a little awkward in here...

by **pens_CT** on Mon Dec 31, 2012 6:16 pm

Meeting is over, players coming out of NHL offices per Darren Dreger.
