Subject: RE: M-INTRO: Hockey Strike


If the NHL refuses move off its salary cap proposals, the two sides will remain
hopelessly deadlocked. At some point in the process, the league will seek to
have the dispute legally declared a labor crisis. Once that is accomplished,
the NHL can unilaterally impose a salary cap system and invite the players back
to their respective teams. The players likely will refuse that invitation, if
and when they do the lockout turns into a strike. At that point, the league
will have to determine whether or not it would like to go forward with
replacement players. In this scenario, the problem could last anywhere from 12
to 24 months. If, however, the league opts to negotiate a compromise luxury tax
system, the two sides could solve their differences in a matter of days. To me
that seems like a better route to take.
