It feels to me like the alternate proposals the NHL made are pretty reasonable. Players may hold out or make a counter proposal but I doubt the owners will give in much or maybe even at all. I doubt the players want to lose a season and forfeit 100% of their salary.

I think the proposal is asking for an increase in actual salary put in escrow from 20% to 25% plus an additional increase in deferred money (which they'll get back at some point). So are players really willing to toss out the entire season for 5% of their paycheque? In which case, of course, they end up losing 100% of their paycheque (75% of their salary) forever.
