NHL tables new CBA proposal to players
THE National Hockey League made a new offer to the players' association, hoping to spark talks toward ending the long lockout and saving the hockey season.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly said on Friday the league presented its proposal on Thursday and was waiting for a response. The sides haven't met in person since a second round of talks with a federal mediator broke down on December 13.
The lockout has reached its 104th day. The NHL said it doesn't want a season of less than 48 games. That means a deal would need to be reached mid-January.
"We delivered to the union a new, comprehensive proposal for a successor CBA," Daly said in a 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."
A person familiar with key points of the offer said the league proposed raising the limit of individual free-agent contracts to six years from five - seven years if a team re-signs its own player; raising the salary variance from one year to another to 10 percent, up from 5 percent; and one compliance buyout for the 2013-14 season that wouldn't count toward a team's salary cap.
