Being told that, as part of a counter proposal, NHLPA will try to make future expansion and relocation fees part of hockey related revenue.

**** them. greedy mother ****ers. not like that doesnt add 50 player jobs.. what a ****ing joke.

all they say is we want to play.. we want to play, yet continually move the goal posts everytime the NHL proposes something more towards their direction. just terrible.

Silly me for expecting linear negotiations....

 

[NYRFAN218]

We all knew Fehr would push for more but I honestly didn't see that one coming

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I agree that is a nonsensical request. Especially for what is going on in Phoenix.

Fehr knows that the NHL is not going to agree to that.

 

[Boom Boom Geoffrion*]

Didn't see that coming . . .

I just realized this is the negotiation we have been all waiting for. face to face between the nhl and the pa locked in a room (building). I mean there's no way they are leaving there tonight until nearly 4 or 5 am. This forces them to negotiate and make a deal finally!!

just my thought on this negotiation in nyc! I hope I am right!

That's what you think, but in reality they'll be in and out in an hour saying that they continue to "speak different languages"

watch the video of them walking into the building, it is already packed out there in the streets.

As expected, the NHLPA did come with a counter-offer today. Talks still going after 30 minutes.

hopefully they keep going until they have a cba done

You mean Bettman and the owners havent stormed out of the room yet because they got a counter offer? progress.

Just told NHLPA never considered or even discussed asking owners for a share of future expansion or relocation money.

I'm surprised that the crowd even knew who the NHLPA guys were.

that's good ur post earlier made me worry lol

the owners and PA should take your place on the ledge

 

[Thirty One]

The fact that we haven't seen a storm-off or angry press conference after over an hour has to be considered a good sign. Yeah, my expectations are low.

 

[JimmyG89]

Bettman must be getting the itch to walk out of the room. He might explode out of the building with all this buildup. 15 minutes equals storm off. 1 1/2 hours = ????

 

[Fitzy]

There it is, finally some humor around here.

 

[Inferno]

if the NHLPA asked the owners for expansion fees, you could just kiss this season goodbye.

Every time, huh?

Not the first wildly inaccurate report on a player proposal.

 

[Maineice11]

The NHL is meeting internally now. Unclear when talks will resume.

@JSportsnet: Just been told that the NHL has the PA proposal in hand and are looking at document internally. No time line at this point.
