It is problematic for Don Fehr and Gary Bettman to be anywhere near the negotiation process. It would be best for all involved if the agreement was a fait accomplit prior to Fehr & Bettman's involvement.

What has been made clear to me in the last three days is that both Mr Bettman and Mr Fehr were the roadblocks in the negotiations. They were both way too interested in posturing versus actually working toward a substantive conclusion to the new CBA. As such, I believe that both of these parties have seriously injured their positions. It would not surprise me if Gary Bettman were to be quietly sacked and sent on his way, without too much fanfare. Similarly, Don Fehr has proved that his understanding of Hockey and the players is lacking. It would similarly not surprise me if Donald Fehr were to quietly resign or be terminated. As I said, I can lay a lot of blame at the doorstep of these two individuals, because, in the end their form of negotiation was not about the game.

It would interest me to discover exactly what happened in the NHL offices prior to the announcement that a group of owners was to meet a group of players for negotiations. I believe that Mr Bettman lost his supporters and was told to step aside. We will see the fallout of this process either following the beginning of the season or shortly following the NHL Awards following the Stanley Cup.

He says, on the hockey message board

Like it or not Fehr and Bettman MUST be in the room when and if this deal gets signed.....necessary evil! We just have to hope they don't cause what they have been working on to fall apart.

"i'm done with NHL", "i'm never buying a ticket or jersey", "the season is done, just cancel it".
