Sorry so 1.75. As for y Lu isn't traded I believe their are a few other factors. The cba is the biggest. The fact that Gillis is asking to much and the fact that other teams wanna send money the other way

I read somewhere today that each % point in revenues translates to $35 million in player salaries.

So doing simple math, say each % means $1 million reduction in the salary cap.

I can't see how this could possibly work without salary rollbacks. No way the owners accept anything above a 50/50 split.
- Atomic Wedgie

I think I saw that too .....50/50 would equate to a cap of 63 or 64 million. That would put 6 or 7 teams over the Cap. Maybe a small or graduated roll back with some amnesty buyouts.

Yeah, under those circumstances, you're going to have to move my name over to the pessimist column.

Like, nuclear winter kinda pessimism.

Owners won't look at anything less than 50/50. Won't even let their dogs sniff it.

NBA did some kind of 49-51 floating % ....can't imagine the NHL is far off of that.

Yes, that even includes my Canucks friends.

Could you honestly say you're surprised by this? The CBA is a big hurdle, because it could make Luongo even LESS valuable if contract lengths get capped. And, at the end of the day, there's a very good chance teams like the Leafs looked at themselves in the mirror, and decided to wait till next offseason to see what's available.

The NBA has a soft cap as well.

I would prefer an MLB-style of soft cap, as opposed to the exemption-filled disaster that is the NBA salary cap.

I don't disagree, except for it has to be a $1 for $1 tax. But the NHL can't say we need the same split as NBA and have a hard cap.

One thing I noticed with him working out with Roberts is that he dropped weight. Down to 183.

I bet he was lazy before and his weight gains in previous seasons were fat. Roberts probably reduced is overall body fat % while gaining muscle.

Unfortunately, 183 is still small for the NHL. I hope he can bulk up to 190-195lbs of lean muscle by the time the seasons starts

- Bieksa#3

I'd be fine with the $1-for-$1 provision as well...even some of the more well-heeled clubs would have to think about how much they would be willing to go over the cap...considering going over even $10 million would cost the team $20 million overall...

Yup...it's funny how simple it sounds when we talk about it. I only wish the two parties felt a true desire for compromise.
