Korrigiert mich, wenn ich falsch liege, aber soweit ich mich erinnern kann, war schon beim ersten PA-Angebot ein Hard Cap dabei ...Each owner / team has a decision as to how they want to pay their players, as long as they are under the cap. Now Donald Fehr would have you believe by getting rid of the cap, the owners would make more money and that the sky is the limit, but trust me Scott, the owners would lose their asses.
Das kann ja wohl bitte kein Argument für eine solch eklatante Gehaltskürzung sein, denn das ist alles nicht neu. Versicherungen und andere Nebenkosten hat es ja wohl früher auch gegeben. Sicher sind die Kosten heute höher, aber das sind die Einnahmen ja auch.Let the players take 43% and let the owners take 57%. Just reverse it from where it is now and let the owners run the rest of their business and manage their expenses. Now keep in mind this time around it's not just revenue sharing that is the issue. There are many, many more components at play here, from entry level contracts, years of service, insurance, etc. I mean a whole bucket load of disputes that are just as important for the owners to need to get a fair deal done.
hm, tolle Wertschätzung der Spieler ... wirklich super. Stellt das grad so hin, als ob die Teams den Spielern aus reiner Nächstenliebe hohe Verträge geben und die Spieler undankbar sind. Wirklich lachhaft.Not a bad trade off for a guy like Lucic getting what, 6 million dollars a year? I mean good on him too, but he should be grateful. Understand though that these players want for nothing...its first class this, first class that, meal allowances, travel money on the road, the whole shebang.
Auch das ist ziemlich heuchlerisch. Es ist doch völlig normal, dass sich ein Arbeitnehmer um einen anderen Job bemüht, wenn er gekündigt oder wie in diesem Fall freigestellt wird. Das ist völlig in Ordnung so. Und es ist nicht unbedingt so, dass die NHLer in Europa Mördergehälter beziehen würden ... die kommen ja mitunter selbst für die hohen Versicherungskosten auf. Ist sicher besser, als zuhause zu sitzen und Däumchen zu drehen. Viele Spielergruppen mieten Eis und organisieren Trainingseinheiten, aber ohne Betreuer, Refs etc. ist das halt wahrscheinlich auch nicht so professionell wie ein Team in Europa.The players are doing what they have to do, but it's funny, you talk about solidarity and a handful have already bolted. You know who they are...like they need the money...yeah right!
hm, und dann sollen wir wie Schafe so mir nichts dir nichts wieder zurückkommen, oder? ... Lachhaft.The NHL situation will get sorted out, but its complicated - I'm in the middle of it and its complicated for me too - and may take some time. Until then, go out and enjoy the game at the grass roots level and have some fun.

“In the last round you were looking to make major, systemic changes (salary cap) and it was not a surprise to lose an entire season” Kelly said. “Here the battle is really over money and frankly there’s a consensus to be had there and there’s no reason why people can’t come together.”
Kelly, who led the NHLPA from October 2007 through August 2009, said one of the challenges facing Don Fehr(current Executive Director) will be to keep the 750 member association unified as the lockout goes on.
“It’s a huge challenge keeping PA membership together” Kelly told WGR. “Its not only guys with varying incomes. Its guys from different cultures, different countries with different backgrounds, and different outlooks, spread out across the globe. You get guys at the tail end of their careers and guys just beginning their careers. Gary(Bettman) has it much easier to hold his group together of 30(owners).”
Kelly says the players won’t feel any pressure to settle in October since they will be receiving money through escrow payments which is money that was held back last season. But come November and December when players will have missed four to six paychecks, the dynamics will change and some internal pressure will begin to mount inside the association.
Kelly added the deeper this lockout goes, the more chance you will have veteran players with only one or two years left in their careers, speak out publicly and take positions contrary to the NHLPA as Jeremy Roenick did during the last lockout.
Kelly also talked about the power the NHL Commissioner has when it comes to CBA negotiations. “Gary Bettman has enormous trust and confidence from his ownership group” Kelly said. “He’s a veteran presence, he’s an established labor negotiator, he’s a very smart guy. You’ve got some strong owners out there but Gary will dictate where this goes. Whatever recommendations he makes, my guess is the owners will follow.”
Kelly offered up his idea of a proposal. He thinks it should be a long term deal, 8-10 years in length. Salaries should hold where they are in year 1(players would receive $1.87 billion which Kelly estimates would be around 55% of revenues). The players percentage of revenues would then slide down a point every two years until it reaches 50% and would hold there.
He believes there should be enhanced revenue sharing where the bigger teams give more money to the lesser teams. In addition, the players shouldn’t give up the rights they earned after the last work stoppage and they should definitely push to maintain participation in the Olympics since that is good for the NHL product.

"We signed contracts before so why do they have to cut our salaries and our contracts right now? They signed us, [now they] want to cut it. I think it's a stupid idea and a stupid decision by the NHL, [commissioner Gary] Bettman and the guys who work there.
"If it's going to be the same situation, I think it's going to be all year because we're not going to give up," Ovechkin told the Times and Post. "We stick together because we have a very good [leader], Don Fehr, and the guys know and trust him right now because his job is to help us to play hockey and play hockey [with] what we deserve to play hockey."
http://www.calgarysun.com/2012/09/20/iginla-speaks-out-on-lockoutJarome Iginla schrieb:“Gary said last time, it was a deal that would work for everyone, be a win-win,” Iginla said Thursday after an informal session with more than a dozen other NHLers at WinSport. “If you had asked him, ‘Forecast the revenues and will it work?’ He’d have said, ‘Absolutely. This is perfect.’ Now, we’re not talking 1% (back from the players). They’re talking 10% back, and that’s $300 million, and that doesn’t seem honest from where that was. So how can we trust them next time?”
[...]
Iginla is still hoping this stoppage will be a “short one” and is frustrated to be in this situation so soon after the 2004-05 lockout.
“Even though I didn’t agree with it last time, you could see their point. This time, I don’t,” Iginla said. “It’s like Gary enjoys battling, enjoys the argument. We’ve got to get it fixed. Fans have been very good in the past, and we can’t just rely they’ll come back strong. I know I would be ticked off.”
To Iginla, if the players relent too easily, the league will ask for more concessions every time.
“It’s not a matter of us trying to get anything back from the owners. We’re trying to find a way to get a deal that, in five years, Gary won’t be coming back and saying, ‘The game is better than ever, but there’s still a few teams (struggling) and instead of 50%, we want you to take 40%,’ ” Iginla said.
“We’re not trying to win. We’re not trying to get anything back. We’re trying to find agreement — you hear the word fair — but it’s not a right or wrong. We realize we’re not going to win without giving anything back. We want to make sure next time, when you say this is a fair deal — which you said last time and we exceeded all expectations as a group together — we’re not in the same boat.
“You could say, ‘You guys make great money,’ and we understand that, but next time, they’ll say, ‘Why not 40% of $5 billion or whatever. It’s a lot of money, but it’s not like it’s going to fans or other good causes. It just goes to the owners’ pockets and back to the Maple Leafs or the Rangers.”
hm, und dann sollen wir wie Schafe so mir nichts dir nichts wieder zurückkommen, oder? ... Lachhaft.
Tja, nur werden wir genau das machen. Wie nach jedem bisherigen Lockout in jeder Liga es alle Fans gemacht haben. Wie hoch ist denn der Prozentsatz derer, die deshalb dauerhaft dem Sport oder der Liga den Rücken zukehren?
Deshalb interessiert es die Parteien auch ganz praktisch einen Dreck, wie es den Fans dabei geht..
Der Lockout aus Sicht der Teambesitzer, in Gestalt von Red Wings Vizepräsident Jimmy Devellano: Link. Starker Tobak.
Sorry, ich verstehe diese Argumentation einfach nicht. Welcher Arbeitnehmer sagt schon "mkay" wenn der Arbeitgeber sagt: "wir müssen sparen, also verdienst du jetzt weniger. Aber keine Sorge, du verdienst ja eh so viel, da kannst du ruhig auf Geld verzichten" ...
Auf der einen Seite werden die Spieler als gierig und undankbar hingestellt, aber auf der anderen Seite spielen sie in Europa lieber um ein Butterbrot ... wie denn jetzt?
vA da eigentlich genug Geld im System wäre, es ist nur sehr ungleich verteilt: Die Franchisen in den "guten" Gebieten (Maple Leafs zB) scheffeln Geld ohne Ende, die Franchisen in den "schlechten" Gebieten (Tampa zB) machen Verluste. Hätten es die Owner seit dem letzten Lockout geschafft, einen vernünftigen Finanzausgleich zwischen reich und arm einzurichten, so wäre ein neuer Gesamtarbeitsvertrag viel einfacher gewesen. Aber so wissen 18 Besitzer, dass es drastische Einsparungen braucht, um in die Gewinnzone zu kommen, während die anderen 12 nur noch mehr Gewinne im Auge haben.... keine sehr gute Situation für die Spieler.
Ach ja: Devellano wurde für seine Äusserungen mit 250'000$ gebüsst!
Extrem vernünftiges Angebot der NHL, 50:50 und kein Rollback klingt gut. Dazu setzt man die PA mit dem "82 Spiele ab 2.11."-Punkt zeitlich unter Druck, zu handeln ... gefällt mir. Wenn sich daraus nichts machen lässt, können mich die Spieler alle mal kreuzweise ...TSN schrieb:The NHL put a new offer on the bargaining table for the NHL Players' Association on Tuesday morning, which includes a 50/50 split of hockey-related revenue across the board and contingent on an 82-game season beginning Nov. 2.
"We hope we've given our best shot," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman told reporters on Tuesday afternoon.
Bettman added that the offer calls for no salary rollback and the revised schedule - if implemented - would see one week of training camp and every team playing an extra regular season game every five weeks.
NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr said the offer - which is at least six years in length - is an "excellent start" and he would go over it with his membership in a 5pm et conference call. "Our hope after we review this is that there will be a feeling on the players' side that this will be a proposal from which we can negotiate and try and reach a conclusion," Fehr said.
When asked if the new proposal was an improvement over previous offers tabled by the NHL, Fehr added: "In some respects I think it is in other respects I'm not sure. We have to look at it."
