There's going to be a lockout any way, so best to set the battle lines now... especially if the players are stupid enough to try and break the linked cap.

I think 1 and 5 will be the points that the owners fight hardest for. 7 the players won't care about since it doesn't affect union members. 6 they will probably have no trouble agreeing on, but the players likely ask that LTIR players no longer count against the 50% share either. 2 is something that could happen, but the players will fight against. 3 is a complete non-starter for the union, and I suspect 5 is also.
