From what little understanding I have on this situation, I also think that the players will need to take more of a pay-cut to keep things going, but I don't think their dissapointment in the league proposal is unwarranted.

unlike Mr. coffee, I don't want the players to get smashed on this.
I just hope they understand the gravity of the situation and it isn't the time to want to "get paid". To me, they have to realize any paycheque is a good thing, and the league isn't trying to screw them over for more profit.
everyone is screwed.
look at the pay cuts the NBA players have to eat, and their TV contracts are way higher.
I think the NHL TV contracts between Rogers and NBC pay the league 600M per year. The NBA gets about 2.6B per year.
I honestly think the best thing for the league is to shut down until September 2021.
I hate to think how COVID is affecting the smaller leagues from the AHL all the way down.
this virus could screw up hockey for a generation of players.
