Further to @michaelgrange report about NHL/NHLPA agreeing to 2 compliance buyouts per team, word is they will count against HRR but not cap.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 3:35:35 PM
-
That is quite the concession from players...proof that NHL was going to hold firm on money being "outside the system." But, remember...by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 3:36:48 PM
-
"Nothing is done until everything is done," as one source says.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 3:37:12 PM

There were some concerns this morning with HRR package sent by league to players. NHLPA upset because it believes penalties...(1/2)by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 6:30:10 PM
-
for "hiding" HRR were very weak. Some of this afternoon's discussions will be clarifications on this and other "language" issues.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 6:30:45 PM
-
NHL has agreed to "restore" previous CBA penalties for "hiding" HRR. Sounds like a real waste of half a day, though.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 7:45:46 PM

players want expiry date to be June 30, NHL wants it to stay Sept. 15.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 10:50:43 PM
-
Also, PA proposing as part of variance that, in multi-year contract, no season can have salary lower than 60 per cent of the highest year.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 10:52:28 PM
-
That would kill the Kovalchuk/Weber/Luongo contracts. Benefits both NHL and PA, because those deals hurt escrow. But helps "middle-class"...by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 10:53:53 PM

have flexibility.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 10:54:02 PM

It is the league who want the June 30 ending and the NHLPA wants Sept. 15.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 11:00:56 PM

On variance, NHL has proposed 60 per cent limit. Therefore, lowest salary of any multi-year deal must be within that amount of the highest.by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 11:04:06 PM
-
In addition, if anyone wants to end CBA after eight years, it must notify June 30th of the sixth year. (That is part of the NHL proposal.)by Elliotte Friedman via twitter 1/3/2013 11:05:55 PM
