You're a development league, if they don't be careful there won't be a league at all. Theres like 4 teams that are above water, rest are folding/moving. This isn't a league where owners are raking in the money. Whatever the players may gain will likely be gone when/if they reach a deal and couple teams announce they are folding and there are 40 less roster spots. Are the Flames/Canucks/Sabres owners going to care if their lacrosse teams fold? I highly doubt it. Couple of those teams are the most stable teams in the league. Think about that players and PA.

There is a very difficult economic state if you look at Colorado, Calgary, Toronto and Saskatoon relative to other teams.

But really what the core disagreement about is how will the players be able to participate in the growth of the league. How is that growth measured and defined. That at the core, from what I understand, is the biggest point of contention and what is in the way.

I really hope it is resolved.

Going to games with my boy is a joy.
