Word came out today that the NHL made a new offer to the NHLPA. Details are that the league changed their contract demands from 5 to 6 years, changed variance per year from 5% to 10%, and allowed 1 buyout during the next year. The $300 million "make whole" offer is still part of the plan. However, the salary cap would still be around $60 million, much lower than what it is right now. We'll have to see if the players accept or make a counter offer or continue with their certificate of dislclaimer.
Here's something else to do during the lockout. I'm working on a master's degree with Kansas State University. One of my classes involved conducting an analytical review of a book relating to violence prevention. I chose a book called "I am Nujood, age 10 and divorced." If you're looking for a quick read and a fascinating look into a foreign culture, grab this book. Nujood is a young Yemeni girl, forced into marriage by her father at the age of 10. It details her early life, her marriage, and then the details of her divorce in Yemeni society. It sounds made up, but it is in fact a true story. Damn good read, you might be able to finish it in a day.
