Default NHL Labor Negotiations To Start

From the NHL 'insiders' that I have heard from, most think the season will not start on time. I think the union is still a bit sour about bending in favor of a salary cap during the last negotiations after they said they would not accept a salary cap of any sort.

The NHL season could start without a new labor agreement if both sides agree to continue talks beyond the Sept. 15 expiration of the current deal.

NHL players association executive director Don Fehr said Wednesday ''the players haven't considered what they would do on Sept. 15 or any other date if no agreement is in place.''

If there is no agreement by the expiration date, work could go on under the old pact if management and players agree to that, Fehr said. The regular season is scheduled to start on Oct. 11.

The NHL and the NHL Players' Association are set for another round of negotiations this week with the hope of establishing a new collective bargaining agreement before the current one expires on Sept. 15.

...

There were multiple reports coming out of the last round of talks that the owners' offer included players' hockey-related revenues get slashed from 57 percent to 46 percent. It also was reported that players would be forced to wait 10 years before becoming unrestricted free agents and that contracts would be limited to five years.

As negotiations with the NHL resumed Tuesday, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr indicated that the union was getting close to responding to the league's initial proposal, which included a decreased share of hockey-related revenue, term limits on contracts and a 22-percent salary rollback.

The union said its proposal to the league includes a smaller percentage of revenues for players and an expanded revenue sharing program to help struggling teams.

Donald Fehr, the executive director of the NHL Players' Association, said the proposal could ''stabilize the industry.''

Fehr said players are set to surrender as much as $465 million in revenue under the proposal if the league continues to grow at an average rate. He says that number could balloon to $800 million if the league grows at the same rate it has over the last two seasons.

''We do believe that the proposal the players made today, once implemented, can produce a stable industry ... that can give us a chance to move beyond the recurring labor strife that has plagued the NHL the last two decades,'' Fehr said.

...

Bettman said the owners would carefully consider the latest proposal.

''It's clear to me that they didn't put it together in an hour or two, and as a result we're going to need to take a little bit of time to evaluate it, understand it,'' Bettman said. ''If we're going to respond, we want to respond appropriately.''

Another NHL lockout is beginning look inevitable.

Unable to move beyond the philosophical stage of talks, the owners and players have watched another week slip by without progress. They sat down together for a quick session Thursday morning before reporting the same significant gap that has existed all along.

the owners for some reason are hell bent on a lock out.
The players preposal looked like a place to start talks but the owners dont want that.lock out only going to piss off more fans .it seems to me the revenue is enough for both.just greedy and they expect when alot of people are having a hard time making end meetus to understand and forgive when it is over.there is another strike i wont watch hockey only follow boxscores for here

NHL labor negotiations are at a standstill after talks broke off on Friday, significantly raising concerns the league is two weeks away from its fourth labor dispute in 20 years.

Negotiations that were scheduled to resume in New York next week are now in limbo after NHL Players' Association executive director Don Fehr announced that the league had asked that talks be ''recessed.''

Kovalchuk is also going to the KHL. Plenty of teams have sent their players on entry level contracts to the AHL. Ovechkin says the lockout may take a full year and he may being to the KHL to play too.

Lockout has begun...

Quote:
Day 2 of the NHL lockout saw no changes from either side Monday, as talks between the league and the NHLPA remain unscheduled.

The NHL locked the players out over the weekend, when the collective bargaining agreement expired at 11:59 p.m. Saturday. It's the NHL's fourth work stoppage in the last 20 years.

The hope: Cooler heads will prevail. The lockout will last weeks, not months. The sides will meet in the middle, the game will keep growing, and everyone will make more in terms of actual dollars. The benefit of compromising outweighs the cost of not compromising. Obviously you don't want to lose half the season for one percent.
The fear: The longer this goes, the deeper each side digs in. Instead of being pressured by missed gate receipts and missed paychecks, the owners and players decide that they need to make the pain worth it – that they need to win. The cost of not compromising has become so high that there needs to be a benefit. Obviously you don't want to lose half the season for one percent.
