When you get right down to it all they want is to get paid what their contracts say they should get paid (less taxes). Some escrow is unavoidable but they want a mechanism that forces ownership to assume responsibility for it's own fiscal prudence (or lack thereof).

I think the NHL should do it (Cap Escrow at around 10%) but also narrow some of the distance between the upper and lower limit. I mean really all it is is the players saying "pay us what you agreed to pay us and if you guys can't follow your own rules then that should be on you".
If I'm reading this correctly, the players are trying to keep the salary cap but unlink their salaries from HRR. We're gonna have a 2 year lock-out if they think that's gonna happen.
