All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

A lot of rumors are surfacing that the players are giving in to a new deal where they are willing to give up quite a bit but under the term revenue sharing and not salary cap.
Whether this is true or not, expect some bargaining news in the next few days.

what don't the players understand about no salary cap no hockey??
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
The previous offer by the players and the subsequent "line-by-line" review with the miedia was a PR stunt. In no way did it result in swaying the public opinion that is clearly in the owners favor. Fans are heavily on the side of the owners (3 or 4 to 1)......me included
There was an article in the paper here where Gretzky says if nothing gets settled soon, he wouldn't be surprised if they were out 2 years. If they cancel this season, players don't get paid again until next September, so there is no pressure on the owners to settle until then.

I can't believe CP is anti-union.
Unions are good to a point. However, when they become too powerful, like municipal unions, it's counterproductive.
To me, it's just business. It makes no sense to me to have the same cap for Calgary as New York, unless you are going to share revenue. If they are not going to share revenues, I think the luxury tax works. Let the Rangers and Red Wings spend as much as they want, and pay the tax which shares their revenue with the "have nots". Why penalize the teams that know how to make money?

how does having a team in a city with a few million people to sell jerseys to and big corporations to blow big money on ads knowing how to make money??

How many jerseys are they going to sell if their team blows?
How are you going to generate TV ratings when Tampa plays Calgary for the cup?
Believe it or not, it's in the game's best interest for the big city teams to be good.

I've been to NY...the Rangers blow and they sell lots of jerseys
I've been to Chicago...the Black Hawks blow and they sell lots of jerseys
TV ratings for hockey will always suck in the US - people just don't care.
The only way big city teams winning being in the games best interest would be for TV ratings which brings us back to the point above about nobody outside of fans in cities with teams caring.
Contract the league of teams south of the mason dixon and get teams that are loaded with talent and you will see better hockey which might lead to better ratings...regardless the big city teams being good.

that would have been Glenn Sather...who with Gretzky and Messier and a boat load of underpaid talent in a small market won 4 cups.
