BUCH
So I just heard on the radio from Peter Marr (the Calgary Flames play by play guy) that his sources found out some details on the new NHLPA proposal, the two biggies:
- immediate 10% rollback on player salaries
- 75% tax on every dollar over ~$44 million
As compared to the last proposal:
- immediate 5% rollback on player salaries
- 10 or 15% tax on every dollar over ~$44 million
Also Peter Marr said this deal had some "controls" in place for salary arbitration and player entry salaries.
As I said, I just heard this on the radio so take this with a grain of salt, but Peter Marr's been in the business for decades and his "sources" are usually quite good.
I think that is a very fair STARTING Point and if Bettman saids that the NHLPA are not taking it serious still then im sure he will loose a lot of support.
