Christian Ehrhoff says: I do not care for this idea.
The NHL and NHLPA reached another of their fabulous impasses this week, agreeing to the idea of a 50/50 division of hockey-related revenue, then differing on the execution.
The NHL wanted it to begin immediately, and while their proposal promised no rollback “over time”, according to Bill Daly — the players would be made whole eventually –*it expected players to defer money now. The players weren’t so into that, countering with a proposal to let their contracts to remain as written and see the two sides reach 50/50 gradually over a number of years.
And thus, we lost the month of November.
