Ideally they'd love to get rid of the salary cap but that isn't going to happen.

Bottom line for me is the lockout protection is still only going to the best 5-10% of the union, the rest of the rank and file will be equally as screwed as the last labour stopage.
I'd have to look but I thought I read somewhere there is rumbling of hidden HRR and such that has led to artifically high escrow, or at least there are some player concerns.

Just considering they went from losing a whole year to losing half a year, and things seem to be pointing to another lockout, I imagine it will be another lost half year at least.
