As you likely know by now, the NHL made a significant proposal to the NHLPA yesterday.
In short, the NHL is offering a 50-50 split of Hockey Related Revenues and a full, 82-game season beginning November 2nd. TSN has more details here.
However, despite the apparent progress made with the offer, the NHLPA is not necessarily thrilled. Which, really, is not all that surprising. A seven percent decrease is still quite significant.
With any luck, though, this will get the ball rolling and we will have a full, exciting hockey season.
