[h=1]NHL lockout update: Further details leak after NHL made new offer to NHLPA[/h]http://www.nj.com/rangers/index.ssf/2012/12/nhl_lockout_update_further_det_1.html

ESPN's Pierre LeBrun said the timetable is "an agreement no later than Jan. 11, the opening of training camps Jan. 12, and the beginning of the regular season Jan. 19." All of that matches the previous reports that a deadline would be around mid-January.

no one

fans and the those that have the NHL as part of their livelihood lose.

If its true and they do a 48-game schedule, it will be exciting because every game will mean so much.

<article> <header> [h=1]NHL lockout: Bill Daly statement on latest NHL offer[/h] By Adam Gretz | Blogger
<time class="storyDate" pubdate="" datetime="2012-12-28T18:12:31Z">December 28, 2012 1:12 pm ET</time>

After reports surfaced early Friday morning that the NHL made a new proposal to the NHLPA on Thursday, deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the offer on Friday afternoon.
The NHLPA is already reportedly working on a counteroffer.
"In light of media reports this morning, I can confirm that we delivered to the Union a new, comprehensive proposal for a successor CBA late yesterday afternoon," said Daly in a league statement. "We are not prepared to discuss the details of our proposal at this time. We are hopeful that once the Union's staff and negotiating committee have had an opportunity to thoroughly review and consider our new proposal, they will share it with the players. We want to be back on the ice as soon as possible."
It wouldn't be a stretch to take the next-to-last sentence about hopefully passing the offer along to the players as quite a dig at union leader Donald Fehr. James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail talked to at least one player earlier in the day who hadn't heard of or seen the offer at that point.
The NHLPA has a conference call scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.
Earlier in the day, reports started to come out regarding the offer. They including the news that the NHL showed some movement on some key areas, including contract-term length, the year-to-year variance on contracts and kept the $300 million "make whole" portion of its latest offer, which was supposedly pulled off the table when the union rejected it.
Along with the new proposal, Mike Heika of The Dallas Morning News reported the NHL is targeting a start date of Saturday, Jan. 19, while Bruce Garrioch passed along word that owners have informed commissioner Gary Bettman that cancelling the season is not an acceptable option.
Just something to keep in mind: The 1994-95 season, which was cut down to 48 games (apparently the mininum number of games the NHL is willing to play this season) due to the first league lockout, started on Jan. 20.
The league has already cancelled all games through Jan. 14 (a total of 626 regular-season games) as well as the NHL Winter Classic in Ann Arbor, Mich., and the NHL All-Star Weekend in Columbus, Ohio.
Pushing matters along -- and perhaps forcing the NHL to make a new offer -- was the result of a player vote last week that will enable the union leadership to file a disclaimer of interest by Jan. 2.
The vote passed by an overwhelming margin of 706-22.
Just because union leadership now has the power to file the paperwork doesn't mean that they will.
It's worth pointing out that even though the NHL has repeatedly talked about take-it-or-leave-it offers or how offers won't get any better, or that things are being taken off the table ... they have always come back with a better offer to the players. On the surface, this one appears to be no different.

In my opinion the players are going to win this thing.

Betmann really underestimated their resolve and belief in Fehr.

Every time the NHL says last offer take it or leave it they come back with one more offer and Fehr keeps saying just wait guys. I hope the NHL owners wake up and get rid of Betmann he is despised by the players fans and now even the sponsors of the league who have trust issues with the NHL.

does anyone honestly care? they were competing with re runs of TV shows and losing half the time during the playoffs and stanley cup run.

NBA's pre game show on ABC beat the final stanley cup game.

if MLS can keep getting some of these names from europe, they will replace the NHL in less then a decade.

There is NO agreement as of today (Saturday 12/29).

The NHL and NHLPA plan to meet for talks tomorrow in New York.

personally, yes I care. I love March Madness and the NBA playoffs but the regular season is just horrible for the most part. Yes, having a few bucks on it does make it barely watchable. Barley.

I would rather watch a video of Murphy knitting a sweater or BAS making his clay ash trays than to watch the National Boring Association. BTW, the NHL plays to almost 100% capacity when they do play. The NBA would love that kind of attendance.

Plenty of us do care. Hope it's true. Thank scottcarter.

I listened to some sports talk personalities and all of them said the same thing... "for several weeks we've all been told it might happen but no one really believed it, but this is the first time I think it will. I am excited"

I hope they are right
