How well or badly did players with hockey lockout?

Generally, I think like the replacement situation where the NFL destroyed the NFLPA, but did it so thoroughly the NFLPA threatened to dissolve and the owners were forced into a partneship with the players, the answer is more complex than who wins and who loses the labor fight.

 

I think the lesson to be learned from the NFL is that by losoing the battle with the owners in the mid-80s strike, both the owners and the players ended up making more money than ever before because the owners and workers needed to co-operate or the workers union would die and when they co-operated rather than fighting then they really made the big bucks.

Though if the whole story is that my salary has increased from the hundreds of thousand annual average to $1.8 milliom in the last ten years and now I have had to roll it back 24% in exchange for 6 years of living off a salary still far higher than when I first began playing hardball with my bosses I might hooe that you crush me ;ike this again.

 

It doesn't look like the players are hurting much at all on this one.

Is this a world record of brevity from FFS. Dude , I am not one to bash, read about 50% of your posts, but i do always check for length before diving in

I believe the six options in the pole should help clear things up for you. Please don't ask FFS for clarification ever again. We could end up with a masters thesis length response.
