I haven't really understood this, but I've been hearing of a lot of players maybe going to the Swedish league next year.
Is there going to be a strike next season? What for? Low wages? :D |

I think it'll happen.
The owners wants a better distributution of salaries by imposing a salary cap. Say 50% for the players, 50% for the owners.
As we speak, 75% of revenues go to the players, while 25% go to the owners. Many teams are on the verge of collapsing. |

Okay thanks for explaining.
If the situation is that serious it seems like a good solution. And its not like you feel sorry for the players getting a bit less paid. heh |

| I can't imagine athletes being "over" paid. Sheesh. One week's pay for them is what I make in about 5 years...ok exaggeration. but u catch my drift. |

| If there is a strike it will be the end or it will be something the NHL could never recover from. Hope they come to an agreement. |

players wants the rules of free market to prevail (status quo). While many owners cannot simply survive.
Every Canadian team except Toronto is in , maybe half of the American teams are in big trouble.
Many are talking that the league won't be the same ever after the conflict:confused: |
