And based on how it's written it sounds like they'd be shifting those costs to the owners' share of revenue. That is to say, the money that funds those would no longer be considered part of the players' 50% share of Hockey-Related Revenue, effectively giving them a raise. It's probably peanuts for high earners and ultimately for the owners, but lower earning players would see a bigger bump relative to their pay.
Yeah I guess that's what it's boiling down to - it won't be paid from the players' HRR.

I just thought there was something different they were doing in the USA.
