Here's what just happened at Bettman's 30s presser
"we are pleased with the current on-going process at this time..."
"i'm taking no questions"......conference over! And I waited 50 mins for that!!
funny how the press took their seats, 30 s conference, press gets out of seats, ridiculous!!
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

The subject does have me thinking because players have agents who negotiate their contracts. I know the agents have connection and spend a ton of time doing research about market value, etc, but I just wonder if some players would be better off without an agent.
We see it here... Bettman and Fehr are guys who represent the people who really matter. But they add a layer of complexity to the process. Remove the layers and you have progress.

Well the PA submitted a proposal to the owners today. The owners met internally again to go over the proposal and have just gathered with the players again to respond to their proposal.
Will probably find out soon whether we can truly have optimism about what has been occurring lately. My guess is that it goes one of two ways:
They continue this same process trying to reach a deal.
Or
The owners don't respond favorably and shit hits the fan for awhile again.

After 15 minutes, owners left the meeting room.
Edit: I should add a question mark to the end of that.
Lets just all hope for a CBA deal longer than 4 years.
Can you imagine another lockout on the NHL's 100th anniversary?
Rumors have the NHL wanting a 10 yr deal, NHLPA wants 5. 7-8 yrs anyone??
