There's nothing new about this reality. Labour disputes have been SOP in sports for nearly 50 years.
Two thoughts here:
1. Larry Brooks is as untrustworthy as it gets. There is nothing he says that I would take as truth until collaborated by someone else.
2. That being said, this makes sense for the reason Erick Estrada notes: The NHLPA is going to take a run at escrow. More specifically, it is going to try and attack the linked cap. It's obvious that the owners will meet that with things equally loathsome to the players.
