NHL lockout is over

[bsmooth]

Bottom line is players are getting a significant cut to their revenue, a reduced salary cap for next year and no longer have ability to sign super long contracts while the concessions made by owners in these last negotiations are negligible in comparison over the long haul.

That being said the story coming out of the last lockout was how the players were crushed yet salaries rose dramatically and given a second chance the NHLPA probably would have ratified that deal permanently

They had no linkage and make whole back in November, breh. How did the players win?

Owners got everything they wanted.

Players maintained the status quo though. They went to 50 but that's all the owners really got.

So what exactly did the players gain? They lost half a year salary for what exactly? The deal they got was similar to the deal they were offered months ago.

57% to 50% in salaries
They took a mean L

Yeah, but in the end the owners somewhat caved. The players got way more than the league's initial offer. They got longer max contracts, a higher salary cap, etc.

So this guy was on the Shawn Kemp workout plan?
