Maybe this is the proverbial "apples and oranges" deal... but if the NFL and NBA could sort their issues, why can't the NHL? It doesn't help one's league or someone to have this same issue twice in about eight years. Agree to SOMETHING, NHL!

The NHL has to agree to SOMETHING if they want their fans to get to see some hockey for Christ's sake. I know there's a lot to negotiate and all, but something has to be agreed upon to at least see some hockey action this season, if not next.

Well, this would be the time. The drop dead date is allegedly January 11, so there's finally some urgency and it should get done. I still can't see the season being cancelled, Fehr is one of the best sports lawyers around, he won't ditch a whole season for an extra year on contracts. You've got to hand it to Fehr, he said to wait it out for the offers to get better, and they have.
I just hope it gets done soon, one of my New Years resolutions is to start a Hockey blog (specifically focussed on the Canadiens). I write a lot of posts on hockey forums and I think it'd be nice to maybe get paid for it. I just think it'd be a cool thing to start up.

New deal tentatively in place.
The Rundown:
- Free Agent contracts can not go beyond seven years, though if they resign with their old team, they may go a maximum eight years.
- All Hockey related income will be split like Basketball, 50-50. Under the old deal, it was 57-43 in favor of the players.
- Salary Cap for the remainder of the year will be set at $70.2 million. Next year, the cap will be at $64.3 million, however, each team must have a minimum salary of $44 million.
- The CBA will last 10 years, however, according to TSN Canada, there is an opt-out clause that could take effect after eight years.
- The remaining games that are yet to be canceled could be played as early as Jan. 19(a 48 game season).
EDIT: This was copied and pasted from another board that I talk hockey. Please ignore the news like status of the wording.

HFBoards? That's where I got most of my lockout news. I'm glad there's 2 amnesty buyouts included, Habs are likely gonna ditch Gomez and Kaberle or Bourque. I'm just really happy it got sorted out. I like the 8 year guarantee as well, hopefully they go the full 10 years.
