Not a lot happening in the NHL this morning. But, alas, these dogs days are killing us all (softly?)
If you're a CBA enthusiast, you'll love Larry Brooks' piece in the New York Post. He "somehow" obtained an internal memo from NHLPA head, Donald Fehr.
The memo details how the league's proposal breaks down in dollars and cents. Interesting stuff, to be sure, and certainly not a deal the PA will be accepting any time soon.
Now, however, comes the fun part as the PA is sure to table a counter proposal soon enough.
I can't wait to see what they fire back with, because whatever it is, it will largely indicate whether we are looking at a long, drawn-out negotiation or not.
My gut tells me that we will be looking at a long process. Moreover, I think we'll lose part of the upcoming season as a result.
What do you think? How do you feel the negotiations will play out?
