Hey pens fans,
Here is the rumored deal from the PA
1.$ 39.8 million per team salary cap plus $ 2.2 million per team for player benefits.
2.$ 34.0 million per team salary
3.All the teams may each designate a franchise player each season, their salary would not be included in the cap but it would be taxed
4. A 0% rollback of existing salaries
5. unrestricted free agency at age 27, or six pro seasons, whichevercomes first
6.entry level contracts capped at $ 1.2 million including performance bonuses
7.qualifying offers at 75%
8. A 5 year contract limit
9. A 60% for the home team 40% for the away team revenue sharing for all regular season gate revenue.

That's the rumor I found. Not sure if this is 100% accurate, but its seems reliable, at least in part.

Replcement Players
Hey pens fans,
The eaguue has been looking into using replacenment players next year. this means the PA's offer has better be a good one, because it looks as though the league is not going to come up with anything new. Some of the owners do not want replacement players and it may be a larger number than thought. Hopefully, it does not come to that. Let's hope the PA has a good, no great deal to present to the league. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

The Players want this over
Hey pens fans,
Latest Rumor is that the players are really pushing for a deal. They do not want a 2nd season of no NHL. They also don't want it to come to replacement players. The players feel that if something isn't done in the near future that the league will have them in a tough position.

Here We Go Again
Hey pens fans,
Well, rumor has it that the players like the 37.5 deal and may try to pressure Goodenow into negotiations. The league and the PA are susposed to meet a few times in the coming week. I hope they can get it done and maybe this time Goodenow will actually try to negotiate as oppose to just saying no.

Goodenow Needs to step up to the plate
Hey pens fans,
I wish I could tell that the most recent talks went well, but that would be a lie. Bettman made 2 new proposals on behalf of the league, a de-linked deal at 37.5 million per team cap or a linked deal at 54 %. Goodenow said that he is not there to talk with the league and that he is waiting for the league to accept the PA's February offer. Goodenow needs to get over himself and put his ego aside and realize he is representing the players, who want to play. The fans want their teams back. We don't want a new WHA or any other league. We want our NHL back. Does Goodenow think that the fans will support a new PA league? I think he is seriously mistaken if he does. I thinks its time for something to happen. Will the players do something about Goodenow? Hey, if Gary Bettman is willing to put his ego aside and try to resolve this why can't Goodenow? Am I right?

The 90 minute meeting
Hey pens fans,
The meeting today lasted about 90 minutes. The NHL basically told the PA that its there move and they need to come up with something. another rumor is that th league met with ESPN or NBC or both about carrying the games in the future and the possibility of changing the white ice to blue and the blue lines to orange because a black puck is hard to photograph on a white background.

Will the NHL be saved?
Hey pens fans,
I do not agree with or believe that what the following rumor says is true, but I have heard it in enough places to feel the need to pass it on. Some agents and players and saying that the NHL will never be save and that the players or at least most of them have no problem starting their own league. I do not think it will come to that at this point, but the possibility is out there.

Price goes Up and league to meet with PA
Hey pens fans,
Apparently the offer to buy the league is still out there and the price has increased but i am not sure how much. There a enough owners that will never sell, so this will not happen. I think they are just trying to make a point that maybe they are not worth as much as they thought. The league is expected to ask the players association to meet early this coming week. I will try to let you know what happens.

Unrest in the ranks
Hey pens fans,
Nothing much new, but ther is one thing. At the NHLPA meeting many of the players openly expressed their discontent. It is rumored that is may have led to shouting. They want to know why they are not playing. That's what we all want to know right? If they don't know then who does?
