But all the PA has been trying to do is repackage their first proposal with the the same outcome of nothing changing. Atleast this is a new idea that no one has thought of that could pull the wool over some eyes.

I had this idea the other day: if the owners just paid the players whatever they wanted, and then the players paid back everything over a certain percentage of HRR (subject to a mutually acceptable definition), then we wouldn't need a salary cap system. In fact, they could just go on the honor system and trust that no one will try to screw the other over.

It's such a simple solution. I can't believe neither side has suggested it, either.

Half of one, half the other, less then more and 2 times the fewest
- HuileHab

My point exactly.

The proposal doesn't make sense to me. First off, how can you ask teams LOSING money to contribute money?

Gents you can only share what you made in profit, otherwise your business loses money. League wide combined profits added up to 260mil. Revenue sharing could not exceed this.

Last year the players pocketed 1.3 billion while the owners pocketed 260mil. That’s what this is all about. Player solution is for owners to spread around thier 260mil so that more of it ends up in player pockets.

This is why there will be no season. Current system is stupid

And 5 teams made that majoirty of the profits.

So the only way to increase the revenue pot is by adding more teams to contribute.

If every team contributes and every team benefits it's win win win in everyones eyes.

By saying "everyone has to contribute $X million" you accomplish the exact same thing as if you only required those teams that need revenue sharing to kick in. Teams that receive revenue sharing don't get any more money by paying in themselves than they would by not paying in - but you get to couch it as "see, everyone participated!" in some kind of feel-good, do-nothing action.

Let's actually fix things, not think of how to make ourselves feel warm and fuzzy.

Makes sense

If each team is getting back the same amount as what they gave, then how does that change how the revenue is split up among teams?
- MJL

The amounts would be much, much larger.

And each team's revenues would increase by $30 million, although there would have to be a clause in the new CBA that it wouldn't be considered HRR.

If it gets a deal done, let them contribute, not like they will be losing any more then they are.

Oh for sure, the Revenue sharing is not directly related to hockey so it shouldn't be used to calculate the players share.

This proposal is making more and more sense as it develops.

Hopefully JVR and the other HB hockey players are reading this.

I wish this logic actually made senses in some magical world where the sky is pink and unicorns granted little children wishes.

I'd like Canada to adopt this same mystical accounting practise to transfer payments. Let’s get Quebec to toss in 20billion and see what they say.

Before responding, pull out a piece of paper and test your theory using math.

And by the way revenue and profit are two very different things, first you need to nail that concept

Quebec already uses accounting practices that are much more unorthodox than what I'm proposing.

You can't contribute negative revenue.
