So, what does everyone think of the player's offer? I think the salary tax is fair. It does not link player salaries to league revenue as the owner's would like, but I think a fairly punitive salary tax is a reasonable compromise. The salary rollbacks will help bring down salaries in the short term, but it's unclear how long these rollbacks are in effect for. If you're Bobby Holik of the NY Ranger$ and you're supposed to make $9 million this year, will you're salary become $8.1 million this year but go back to $9 mill next year?
I'm glad to hear that they'll be meeting again next week. I don't really expect any sort of agreement to be reached that will save the season, but I won't hate the owners and players so much if they are at least talking.
