Wax Up That Floor

Bill Watters on 640 Toronto is reporting that the NHLPA will reject the NHL’s latest proposal.

You’ll most likely hear the same phrase as the reason for rejection that you’ve heard before from the NHL and NHLPA: “philosophical differences”.

Update: Here’s the press release just sent out by the NHLPA:

NHLPA STATEMENT FOLLOWING MEETING IN NEWARK

NEWARK, NJ (February 2, 2005): At the conclusion of today’s meeting in Newark, National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) Senior Director Ted Saskin released the following statement:

“The League today presented a written proposal with minor variations of concepts that were presented orally by the NHL last Thursday.  We told the League last week and again today that their multi-layered salary cap proposals were not the basis for an agreement.

Given the status of negotiations, the NHLPA suggested that the parties meet again tomorrow with Bob Goodenow and Gary Bettman joining the meeting.”
