Which is fine when it's just hockey. But the spreading of misinformation with COVID is more problematic in my view.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my years on CP, it’s that some posters here love it when anyone points out that their posts are misleading or untrue.
Was green text necessary?

I say this understanding a large amount of his posting history; but this may be the dumbest, most ill-informed thing that Ricardodw has ever posted here.

You get the antibody by getting covid or by a vaccine.

Checking for anti bodies is practically a useless way for checking for immunity. The government uses it because it is a cheaper test. A better way to test if you actually have immunity is to test b and t cells.

Four teams looking at playing outdoor home games
"None of the clubs would comment, but they are Anaheim, Boston, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. According to multiple sources, it was the Kings who first considered the idea several months ago."

Taking a while to get to 5000

The other 27 teams would love that too as I believe they would share in the revenue.
Curious if any Canadian teams brave this in the dead of winter

It would be great to schedule outdoor games on the weekend...Maybe by April/May they could have limited fan access with the intention to increase towards the playoffs?

I think the players would be against playing in those conditions but I would expect fans to definitely fill up what is allowed. It would be a really neat experience.

I suspect that binding contract is almost certainly beyond the understanding of most of the owners no offence to the owners. The one part that I think the players do understand that you cited is that there is a scenario where fixing escrow does not fix the 50/50 problem and the CBA runs out and the players get more than 50 percent of HRR over the term of the CBA. I do not think the players have a problem with that potential scenario and they carefully read the binding July addendum to the CBA to make sure their interests were protected. Unfortunately it appears the owners did not.

Okay. Firstly, the players also need to read the whole agreement . At least the important parts.
Here is a good article that pulls them out, and I have quoted them for you
https://www.si.com/hockey/news/does-...to-its-demands
Quote:
Article 5 reads in part:
“Each club, and, where appropriate, the league, in the exercise of its functions of management, shall in addition to its other inherent and legal rights to manage its business, including the direction and control of its team, have the right at any time and from time to determine when, where, how and under what circumstances it wishes to operate, suspend, discontinue, sell or move and to determine the manner and the rules by which its team shall play hockey.”
Now, Paragraph 17 of the SPC reads as follows:
“If because of any condition arising from a state of war or other cause beyond the control of the League or of the Club, it shall be deemed advisable by the League or the Club to suspend or cease or reduce operations, then:
(a) in the event of suspension of operations, the Player shall be entitled only to the proportion of Paragraph 1 Salary due at the date of suspension,
(b) in the event of cessation of operations, the Paragraph 1 Salary shall be automatically canceled on the date of cessation, and
(c) in the event of reduction of operations, the Paragraph 1 Salary shall be replaced by that mutually agreed upon between the Club and the Player, or, in the absence of mutual agreement, by that determined by neutral arbitration.”
Now, finally, the memorandum of agreement between the two sides reads as follows:
“In connection with this agreement, (i) for the 2019-20 League Year, the NHL agrees to waive any potential applicability of SPC Paragraph 17 solely on account of the loss of games due to the COVID-19 pandemic on a non-precedential and without prejudice basis for future League Years, (ii) For the 2020-21 League Year, the NHL agrees to waive any potential applicability Page 7 of 71 of Paragraph 17(c) in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic on a non-precedential and without prejudice basis for future League Years, and (iii) such waivers do not affect any other rights or positions of the parties with respect to SPC Paragraph 17.”
|
So 17(a) and 17(b) are still in play for 2020-21.
Some experts in labor law and sports law seem to agree that it has to do with economic reality more so than labour law
Is the pandemic beyond the league’s control? Yes
Might the league determine it is not advisable to operate? Sure, that is a distinct possibility
Here is the final quote in the article
Quote:
“The bottom line is they are in it together,” Drew said. “The owners and the players have to make this work on whatever terms will get people through. At the end of the day, the league is going to bleed so much red that they can’t run a season, then they’re going to suspend the season. As much as I value language, it’s only as good as the capacity of the parties to live up to the obligations that they very well may have negotiated in good faith, even if it was only (five) months ago.”

It’s pretty much a business truism that any successful deal needs to benefit both parties. If living up to the MOU puts franchises out of business, what’s the point?

No, the new agreement completely changes the way the cap will be calculated after things return to normal.
Even if they could, using the escalator only increases the cap, it doesn't change the amount of actual money available to the players, so it would effectively increase escrow, not decrease it.

It makes more and more sense for the league to cancel the season, wait until the vaccine has been widely distributed and have a reasonable prospect of having fans in the building.
The benevolent NHL owners aren't going to take a bath for the sake of playing hockey.
The PA isn't going to budge because they signed the MOU and that's all that matters as far as they are concerned.

The PA will budge if they lose a season of wages, even at a prorated scale.
I don’t see the season getting cancelled.

They may take a bath to burn the final year of their television deal though. Rumour has it that the NHL wants non-exclusive broadcast rights deals for the next season that could be worth $1 Billion if three or more carriers are in the mix.
