Why couldn't the owners and the players vote for ratification on the same day?

Then we could of got this MOU Written and signed half a week ago.
Paper work and the length it takes signed sealed and delivered is ridiculous

I don't see why people are getting pissy over the MOU POSSIBLY taking one more day to sign, we waited this long what's one more day? If it was a week or something sure but it's a day. Chill.

NBCSPORTS PRO HOCKEY TALK: Redden reportedly won’t be invited to training camp by the Rangers, and the club has given his agent permission to speak with other teams. The Blueshirts hope the fact they can retain up to half of Redden’s remaining salary under the new CBA might attract some interest from teams which would otherwise pass on his $6.5 million per season cap hit.

I expect the MOU to be completed late this afternoon. Wouldn't expect any trades until tomorrow... Good thing there are some good football games on this evening!

They can't play him (or even let him practice) for fear injury. If he's injured they would be precluded from buying him out. They'd be screwed.
