Comment on Would you watch NHL replacement players?
One of the appealing things about this site is the level of discourse. "Turdtranna" comments just don't cut it.
Comment on It's time for hockey fans to vent
Maybe someone has already suggested this but why not consider the following. It's a given that the teams are morally obligated to honour the contracts they've signed with the players. If the cap needs to be reduced while honouring their commitments, why not pay the players what they signed for, but reduce the cap hit of the signed contracts by the percent that the cap is reduced. If the cap is reduced by 20%, then only 80% of the previously signed contracts count against the new cap. Any newly signed contracts have a 100% cap hit.
