In the new proposal the players are asking for another 180mil on the make whole provision to cover the losses due to the lockout..kinda fair saying that it was the owners who locked them out.
The biggest shift came in the area of the players moving off of the idea of guaranteed money to a % based revenue system. if this goes through the proposal will last for 5 years. Donald Fehr says that this was "about as good as we can do" the key word there being about.
more updates to come as the day goes on Gary Bettman will comment at 1pm on the new proposal.
I feel optimistic that this is at least the start of being able to put this behind us and watching these guys skate for once instead of behind a podium. who knows maybee Mr. Bettman will accept this heres hoping
UPDATE: according to some sources players had to convince Fher this was the way to go on the proposal and Bettman will respond at 130 now instead of 1. The only thing that might derail this is the extra 180 mil but I feel players are willing to move a bit
Till i hear more lets keep the sticks on the ice
