I should clearify, I see 4 parties interests here (not 2) :
LAK - want to get this issue settled ASAP so they can move on and sign Kopitar. Don't care about the dollars going out. Hoping the cap penelty are as low as possible, to none.
Richards - try to get as much $$ as possible. Don't care about cap penelty.
NHLPA - want to see very little cap penelty, but as much $$ as possible.
NHL - want to see as little $$ paid out as possible, but $$ paid out should be accounted for in cap penalties if $$ paid out.
