The current CBA now officially expires on September 15th with talks apparently to start on June 1st or even after the draft on June 22-23. http://www.thehockey...e-to-NHLPA.html So does the deal get done or are we facing another lockout?

Imagine that the Lady of the Lake stopped chucking swords and instead began bestowing hockey sticks. You, after your typical night of drunken skinnydipping, have found yourself in possession of the Magical Sword of Commishionerhood. It is now up to you to decree a fair CBA without repressing either side. What would you consider to be fair and reasonable to both the players and the owners? Personally, I think that the teams are competitive enough that they will blow out their wallets to get the best players available. Those that aren't willing won't win. I don't think that the underpayment of players will be a problem in the future, given the contracts that are out there serving as a benchmark. On the other hand, the contracts won't get too big as long as the owners are the ones signing the checks. If they don't like paying out so much, they can... not pay out so much. No one is forcing them to pay the players massive contracts, stupid contracts, or any contracts that they might have to hide later. In a nutshell? Free enterprise. That said, I do think that there needs to be an RFA period so that teams don't get outbidden for their drafted talent. I think that age 27 is sufficient. I'm not a big fan of offer sheets, but I wouldn't get rid of them. They can liven up a dull summer. Oh, yes... and let the boys go to the Olympics.

Could the NHL drop the cap and floor after announcing a 70+ million cap???

http://espn.go.com/n...ason-salary-cap The Union is expected to announce later Thursday the approval of a $70.2 million salary cap for this offseason. With last years cap being $64.3 mill what will this mean for teams like Detroit and Pitt vying for the big free agents (Suter, Parise)?
