the hammer lock to do what?

The same thing management does every time. Is it really a mystery?

Guarantee the players a fair cut of league revenues?

 

[Volcanologist]

Apparently Brock Boeser is on the trade block. I realize he's had injuries and not lived up to the hype his first year, but it's just funny Vancouver has no cap before they even see the playoffs and this comes out.

apparently Demko could be had as well...could help our goaltending depth maybe

 

[MindzEye]

Would he clear waivers though? He's not as good as Jack. Would be nice to have 3 NHL calibre goalies in the system though, absolutely.

Guarantee the players a fair cut of league revenues?

1. Maintain and expand control over labour
2. Reduce cost of labour

100+ years of corporate history on this.

2. Reduce cost of labour

100+ years of corporate history on this.

1. Guarantee players 50% of revenues.
2. As a result, guarantee franchise survival and thus more jobs for players in perpetuity.

 

[BeLeafer]

Remind me, how much of that revenue were the players getting before the owners got all fair and guaranteed.

 

[zeke]

Approaching 75%. Which was about to put a bunch of franchises out of existence.

 

[BeLeafer]

Damn.

Always felt like Bobby Holik was the final nail in the coffin of the NHL’s pre-cap, pre-revenue split economic model.

$9M a year long-term deal for a 30 year-old who was never anything more than a good second line center even in his prime.

Derian Hatcher was another

Oh yeah that was shocking. I can't believe nearly 2 decades later the NHl's best player only makes 12.5 per.

The funny thing is so many still think you need to build you a Bobby Holik type.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Drury, Gomez and Briere didn't help

 

[JackBurton]

Taylor Hall will live to regret turning down 8 years from the Devils

yup , lucky to get 4 years now

Question regarding this cap

So it will be flat for 2 years at 81 til we get to a pre determined revenue figure

Let say revenues completely fall off the cliff in the next 2 years

In a normal HRR year lets say the cap should of been 65 based on this revenue free fall

Is there a provision in place where when the league gets healthy again , the lost HRR gets readjusted for future caps ?

3 Habs with Covid

 

[CH1]

and Max out for at least the first 7-10 days of camp, while they figure out what to do with him

the tank is on!

 

[Habspatrol]

"Welcome to Montreal Alexis."

 

[BeLeafer]

Nice to see the Habs going full tank. Good luck on getting Lafreniere.
