Marty Biron on the Lockout

Interesting.........especially the $1 dollars a team over 5 years part.

“I always said yes and I continue to believe we will at some point play just because its too important for everybody" Biron said. "Its too important for the players, the fans, the owners. We believe, the players believe, that the gap is very small right now. We talked about a 182 million dollar gap on the make whole provision over a 5 year period which equals out to about a million dollars a team a year."

“The last time around, seven years ago, when we finally agreed to a salary cap, we gave up on the notion of living in a free market but we wanted some protection coming our way when it came to free agency, salary arbitration which was something that we acquired" Biron told WGR. "For the league to want to go backwards on that is almost like us saying we want to go backwards on the salary cap and we’re not saying that. I believe those were rights that we acquired seven years ago that we should keep now."

Just think Marty, if you split the difference witht the owners and each player gave up $25,633 per year for five years you would be playing hockey right now.
