kenabnrmal said:This makes absolutely zero sense to me. It'd be one thing if everyone was running wild with baseless optimism. But, this was the most respected hockey analysts claiming that a deal was imminent and all but signed. To have such a quick turnaround and such deep pessimism in the media now just reeks of something fishy. Daly and Saskin's comments to the media have never been trustworthy, and neither have the pessimistic reports from ANY media outlets. There has to be something more to it than them just "not being able to bridge the gap". It was supposedly done, and now they're farther than ever? I don't but it. If they weren't even close to something you don't call Gretzky, Lemieux in, you don't set up a meeting two days after cancelling the season, and you most definitely don't plan for a press conference. Something was up, something fell through, but I don't believe for a second that they're "as far apart as ever".

Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Philly, Denver, NYR, NYI, Detroit
There's 8 teams that would jump all over a 45 million dollar cap. If Bettman really wanted to - he could take those 8 votes and we would have hockey this season.

Bettman needs 8 owners to nix a deal he DOESN'T like. If he does like it, it takes a majority vote, 16 owners.
