Sorry, you're right. However, moving to 47.5% from 43% and adopting the more generous definition of HRR are both major concessions and steps in the right direction. The players haven't moved an inch.

Exactly. A shorter schedule isn't the same deal, and likely features less exciting games. I wouldn't pay as much for a Western Conference only schedule...
You also left out the big game against the Bruins that might be lost too... that one has about 10x the value of a Tuesday night Columbus match...
