HRR is net of expenses to generate that revenue. Coaching and a few staff are not considered expenses deductible for HRR so besides that there's not much left out. BTW the league's first offered wanted to include those currently 'undeductible' expenses. You know what happens when the players on those teams suck? People don't watch, owners lose. How is not getting paid what you were promised not a economic risk? :doh:

So you think the players should bail out the teams that are losing money? Serious question.

Reason number two: Bettman: "We think we're paying players more than we should". Owners signed $200 million in contracts the two days before the lockout. Financial hardship or contract spending orgie? (###### gets censored)

Reason number one, the current CBA is the one that the owners locked out the players to get, it doesn't work. So they want a new CBA who's to say that's going to work?

Why do you side with ownership?

Southern Tier Harvest IPA, slow roasted pork, home grown cherry tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. Easy eats.

http://video.sabres....tid=0&id=186244 Q) Do I have to pay my account in full with the impending work stoppage? A) The final payment for Season Ticketholders was September 12. If you have not made this payment, you can wait until the agreement is reached and we will credit any cancelled games against your balance due. You will not be eligible for a refund or interest unless the account is paid in full. Seems I wasn't the only one.

He has 57 games to go before he's waiver eligilble.

He'd be subject to waivers. He'd be gone.

It's like a hurricane warning is posted for a category 5 and the President is no where to be found. Glad I didn't make that last payment.

Nugent Hopkins one of the notables sent down. Sequin not.

It depends if they were on the AHL clear day roster last year. These guys (Tarnasky and Porter) weren't and are subject to waivers to go down.

Out of Washington: Sept. 13, 2012 Dear [season Ticket Holder]: As you know, the National Hockey League and the players’ association are in the process of negotiating a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The current CBA expires Sept. 15 and while we hope to successfully reach an agreement by that date, there remains the possibility that negotiations for a successor agreement will not be concluded and a work stoppage may ensue. If that happens, training camps may not open on time and games may be cancelled. If that occurs we have adopted a set of policies and procedures regarding your season ticket holder account. Obviously, we will not charge your account for any NHL game, preseason or regular season, that is not played. If an agreement is not reached by Sept. 15 we will suspend our monthly payment plan and your account will not be charged until further notice. In appreciation of your continued support and loyalty we would like to provide you with a 1 percent APR interest on the funds you have on account related to games that are not played. In the days ahead you will receive additional information that goes into greater detail regarding the interest and refund policy. I want to assure you that the NHL’s priority is to reach an agreement with the players. We all want to talk about exciting games, upcoming opponents and great plays, not the nuances of labor negotiation. We get it -- and I empathize with you. All of us at the Capitals appreciate your support and the passion you bring to Verizon Center. In a few short years you have turned our arena into one of the best and loudest buildings in the NHL. We all appreciate your loyalty and I hope to see you all very soon at Kettler Capitals Iceplex and Verizon Center. With my appreciation and gratitude, Ted Leonsis Founder, Chairman, Majority Owner and CEO Monumental Sports and Entertainment

3 yr extension for Lucic. $6 million per season. That's nuts. Oh wait, with a 17.5% rollback that only $4,950,000

none

Hodgson going to play with the Amerks if lockout happens.

I said there was no chance. Why take a cruel bet? Guess it wasn't the money. Common sense is like deodorant. The people that need it most never use it.

Canucks sign Alex Burrows to a 4 year $18 million extension.

He has until 8:59 pm Arizona time tomorrow to sign somewhere.

Porter and Tarnasky put on waivers.

Ennis is talking to his agent this afternoon, we'll see.

I don't think that's a vacuum cleaner handle. :w00t:

Carlson, Lehtonen, Colaiacovo, Abdelkader and Pouliot all signed in the past two days. Where's Ennis?

I think this from Vanek shows what's up with TPegs: It’s just a bit strange when Terry Pegula will not be allowed to communicate with us. Last Monday we had our annual charity golf tournament and everything was as always, no talk of bad blood. Terry is the best owner you could hope for and maybe he can move the other owners a bit. He sure doesn’t want to miss too many games. Hier hofft haben wir eine Saison in diesem Jahr, damit Sie Ihre 40 Tore bekommen können!

Bettman's in charge. Before the last lockout he got the bylaws changed so that a higher percentage of team owners were required to override any proposed agreement with the NHLPA. Bettman's been around a long time. He keeps trying to get the owners to spend less and less. He knows the owners will shoot themselves in the foot every time and spend spend spend. The owners want the players to give up more of the money to help out the financially weak teams. The players want the richer owners to help these struggling teams. I'm sure there's plenty of owners that want to play hockey, not just TPegs.
