They went from 57% to 50% in HRR. The NHL originally wanted 46%.

But I actually don't think either side will push for anything that could result in a lockout.
It seems ok right now, but who knows when we have hawk agents in the background.

Allan Walsh is always crying about how the NHL players are underpaid.

It was the first time Gary signed an extension to a CBA but took a pandemic for it.

Last time they wanted 4 year contacts and settled at the 7/8 and wanted 5 year ELC. Who knows if they push back at this, I am sure a lot of GM's would love to reduce contract lengths so you don't get stuck with a bad signing you made.
