When did the players ask to be partners or to take on the consequences of revenue loss? Agreeing to a 50/50 split to keep working isn’t the same as saying you want to be partners and make up for any poor decisions made by the league. Consider the fact that the players don’t want to pay escrow and that should be enough to show you how big of an appetite they have for wanting to take on that risk.

I agree, but that seems to be what the league is trying to do here. They made an agreement where both sides agreed in good faith to take risks, they should stick with it unless they want to give the NHLPA the option to open up the CBA whenever they’re not happy about how something is working out for them, which I can’t imagine the league doing. Ever.
