I haven�t been following the NHL lockout very closely at all, so I was kind of struck by what kind of financial problems the league must be having when the Players� Association is making proposals to cut their own salaries by 24% (up from their 5% September proposal). Apparently, the main dispute is over whether to have a luxury tax or a salary cap. Scott Burnside has some more-informed analysis.
I�m glad I don�t have Gary Bettman�s job.
