LRoling Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 what do you all think about the CBA? is there gonna be a lockout next year? will teams be contracted? the nhl has come a long way and it would be a shame for all that work to go to waste because of a lockout.. a lot of the fans in previously non-hockey markets like atlanta, nashville, florida, dallas, phoenix, etc. would be lost and im sure it would alienate some loyal fans as well.. hopefully the nhl will take a hint from major league baseball and get this thing worked out without a strike or lockout Well, the CBA could make it a lockout year, but I believe it might go over pretty well. I hear the change is that teams that want to go over the salary cap that will be made will have to pay a tax for going over, so big money market teams will still be able to pay big bucks, but over time, will eventually even themselves out with other teams, or have to make more money in order to keep their team intact, or in a miracle situation, players take pay cuts to take their team to the Cup. Dallas isn't a non-market hockey city, btw, they make a good penny, and I don't see Dallas leaving or Atlanta, but I think possibly Florida, Phoenix are iffy, but definitely the Canadian franchises are in trouble. The CBA, however, will be designed to help out low market teams such as Buffalo, Nashville, etc. and the Canadian clubs, but yes, I think contraction might occur.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted October 9, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 9, 2003 I jsut found out that apparantly the top 3 players form minnesota's last season are out at the moment. Gaborik obviosly, Depuis (both are holding out for cash) and they aren't going to re-sign Cliff Ronning... Garbage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRoling Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Yes, Gaborik is a big blow, Ronning, lol, he gets hit once, he's done, he's weak, and he's too old now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaredVolkl Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 OK, now I'm worried. The Wild kinda sucked last night. I think we were 0/8 on the power play and only made 3 or 4 shots. That's pathetic. Roloson looked good, but the rest of the team seemed kind of lost without Gaborik and Dupuis. Hopefully management will realize we need those two on the roster and get this financial stuff out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cara Veteran Posted October 10, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted October 10, 2003 Yzerman's heroics lift Wings NHL.comDetroit opened its season in thrilling fashion as Steve Yzerman scored with 1.7 seconds left in regulation to propel the Red Wings past Los Angeles, 3-2, in Dominik Hasek's return. Hasek stopped 21 shots in his first game after a year off, while Roman Cechmanek had 35 saves in his Kings debut. Also as has been noted... Mighty Ducks - 1 Predators - 3 Good job to the Preds to take out the 'One Shot Wonders' of last season! Here's to a 0-82-0 season for the Mighty Schmucks!
