In the end, however, it was his players, collectively, that saved the 2002 MLB season. So, please, spare me your "no union is one man" garbage lecture because I made it clear that it was the collective that came to the resolution.
What I am saying is that as long as the NHL players follow Don Fehr, there will always be lock outs. It will be incumbent on the players as a group to tell Don Fehr to get a deal done without one, but since the hawks rule the NHLPA right now, don't make any plans to follow the Flames on the road in October 2019.

The NHLPA bargained in good faith during the last CBAs. They were the first party to reach 50/50 split of revenue while the league was at 42/58 split in favor of the owners. You do know that Fehr has no say in a lock-outs, don't you? That's the owners who lock players out of the buildings. Fehr and the NHLPA only determine strikes. And the last four labour stoppage have been exercised by the owners, not the players.
