Okay, listening to Bettman's speech right now. The NHL rejected the NHLPA's proposal and gave a counter-proposal.

Too many points were mentioned to keep in mind, but I'll check the transcript and let you guys know the exact details.

But what I do remember is that the NHL's counter-proposal (part of it) states that players earning under $800,000 wouldn't have a salary rollback. Players earning $800-1.? Million would have to get a 15% rollback, and it keeps going until 5 Million, after which there is a 30% rollback.

30% is too much IMO. I think every team would have atleast two players that earn $5 M (Captain & Goalie).

Let's see what the PA says.

Also Bettman said to fans:"We will make it right for you."

Yeah let's hope!
