#NHL--Vancouver Province reports #Canucks have made a generous offer to #Coyotes S.Doan & that the #NYR will match #Sabres 4yr/$30M offer.

:O

So much for a 20 goal 50 point player.

I seriously doubt rangers are matching that. Doesn't make any sense.

If the Canucks are throwing pleasant lunch money at Doan then a Lou deal is near too.

FROM PLEASANT TO GENEROUS, THE CANUCKS' CHARITY KNOWS NO BOUNDS. DOAN IS TOUCHED.

So NHL sent a new proposal to Fehr.

NHLPA members are being debriefed by Fehr on what was discussed earlier today with Bettman/Daly. Talks "should" reconvene later today.

I am still optimistic.

 

[Fei]

Feels like this is a big day in the negotiations. I'm pretty nervous we're going to get the report that the players have rejected the proposal and don't have any future meetings planned.

With players already taking care of their lockout playing destinations? We are def gonna miss some time here.

No hockey in 2012. Deal with it.

Tactical move in putting a scare to the NHL showing that they are willing to lockout as well.

Players presently in NYC are getting Fehr update.Notification has gone out to those NOT in NYC to look for update on via email/App.

If they are willing to send it to every player in the league then they must think its worth discussing about.

I will not let you bring me down Solo.

Fucking twitter, see a random tweet about Jets fans "needing a hug" and go crazy trying to figure out what it's about. Don't see anything happening... i'm going to pray it was an NFL tweet for now.

Kane traded to the Blackhawks for Michael Frolik and Niklas Hjalmarsson

 

[calder]

"Kane traded for Luongo, Jets agree to take on extra 'Nucks salary just to be neighbourly and assist in Canucks signing Doan"
*gunshot*


Nah, it was in fact a tweet about the NY Jets. Whew!

 

[KernelPanic]

Interesting that it's the NHL not NHLPA that made a new offer, I wonder if Bettman is conceding to some of the PA's demands.

 

[Kave_Man]

Bettman could have spit onto a piece of paper as his new proposal and they'd still have to circulate it to everyone.

I thought the NHLPA made the last "offer"?

 

[Cake Boss]

I thought the NHLPA made the last "offer"?

Yeah then the NHL came today with a new one.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Today we find out if there's going to be a season on time or not.

 

[KernelPanic]

I thought the NHLPA made the last "offer"?

They've been arguing back and forth since as to who's offer to use as a framework, they're vastly different.

I wonder if Bettman's offer was based on Fehr's offer or the NHL's initial offer.

Although Fehr refused to confirm whether they received a new offer or not.

 

[FOOTE]

Just get it done so Doan can sign.

 

[DopeyFish]

Just get it done so Doan can sign.

Doan think we will be so lucky

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

The fact that they're still talking is a good sign. It shows there's at least grounds for them to work together. Today makes me optimistic we could be good to go on the 15th.

 

[Solo]

You be optimistic. I'll be Cakebossed.

 

[KernelPanic]

Told the NHL "slightly" tweaked it's revenue sharing offer by a minimal percentage this morning. Smoke & mirrors more than anything else.

I never had any hope but once Bettman came out and said the fans will come back if there is another lockout I knew we were 100% doomed.

NHL was demanding 43% share while players were asking for 54%. so the ideal number should be 50-50.

plus there is no way they spent 2 hours on that, journalist trying to make it seem that's all that happened, Bettman gave him a new number and that's all happened for 2 hours?

 

[KernelPanic]

We were doomed as soon as the guy who killed the '94 World Series (and the Expos) took over the NHLPA.

Yeah instead of bitching who deserves more, just set it at 50/50. Nice and fair. No one wins, no one loses and we get hockey this year.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I swear, Brodeur can't make a single decent save in the NHL 13 Demo to save his life.

 

[SpectreFire]

I swear, Brodeur can't make a single decent save in the NHL 13 Demo to save his life.

He's no Chris Mason.

 

[Acid08]

Why does the one sport I love have to be heading toward a lockout.

It's times like this when I almost wish I was one of the plebs who enjoys baseball or football.

 

[yankeehater]

I swear, Brodeur can't make a single decent save in the NHL 13 Demo to save his life.

So just like he would have done this season.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

He's been doing fine.

And yeah, because the Expos were totally a viable team.

You are in trouble now brah.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

The more I think about it, the more I'm scared for us to even have a season with how bad I think Detroit could be. :/

 

[wsoxfan1214]

You are in trouble now brah.

If he's going to argue that a hypothetical championship would have made people actually show up, he's not going to get any sympathy from me. The fans should have showed up and supported the team and not given them an option to move the team. Simple as that.

 

[Socreges]

The more I think about it, the more I'm scared for us to even have a season with how bad I think Detroit could be. :/

Welcome to Solo's world. Where your team is so bad that you'd rather not have hockey than see them lose every other day for 6 months again.

Fehr's been doing fine ? What ? He's there to show Bettman and the NHLPA how the players won't be pushed around this time.

I imagine CBA negotiations are going something like this:

As for the Expos, I guess we'll never know what could have happened that year do we ?

That's exactly what they hired him to do, not to placate the fans. He's doing his job.

and seeing as how you guys were near the bottom of the League you were in the season you had 94 wins, I doubt it would have mattered much.

 

[SpectreFire]

Re-signing Eddie Lack immediately proves the Canuck's organizational depth at goal and handsomeness.
