The NBA escrow model was pointed out by LeBrun as something the NHL players want.
In the NBA escrow is capped at 10%. If it is determined that the players need to give up more than 10% because Basketball Related Income (BRI) is not meeting expectations, then the NBA takes up to 1% of BRI from the players benefit pool. Anything beyond that the owners are out of luck.
If that is what NHL players want, then it is obvious what the owners will push back with. Lower estimates of HRR so that they will never be on the hook for losing out if HRR fails to meet expectations.
