that is what the red wings owners say as well.
let me put it to you this way. If you knew what the owner of the company you worked for was making 10 million dollars of your face anualy before the season pay and advertisment pay rolls in, tell me you would not go after a larger peice of the pie. this is why there are players making far more than what the owners want for a cap.
the truth of the matter is that they can make more out of the country for a season playing hockey than what the salery cap would offer, tell me you would not go over seas as well... I sure would. 1.2 mill here or 2.5 mill over seas... no contest...
to see who is telling the truth here all you have to do is pull up the blue book of who is who and what they are worth. the red wing corp and any other team corp yearly proffits are public knolage.
these players have people who look in to the owners pocket books all the time. this how they can nigotiate and demand high salarys and get it.
what you can expect to see hapen is that the players who are already making over the salary cap will sign the agreement provided they are exempt from the contract.
giving all the new players the shaft to keep their status.
well I realy cant say this for a fact. but I did one time a long time ago work for a company and was part of a union where I was sold out by union members above me and lost what would have been my guarenteed wages and medical and retirement packages so that they could keep getting theirs and have their percentage raises gaurenteed....
I quit soon after I learned that I was sold out by my union. learning I would never make more than 7 dollars an hour where the guys with one more year seinority would be making double and tripple with all the perks...
lol I hate being on the sapped end, and my concence would not allow me to be on the sapping end....
I do agree that we can expect a spike in road rage, there are a lot of blood seeking fans aroun my area as well... and already I can feel the tention growing in the ranks. they want blood.....
