For your reading pleasure:

QUOTE
EVEN THOUGH National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman has once again imposed censorship on the owners, snippets of information are leaking out, and it would appear that Bettman is now under considerable pressure to reach a settlement with the players. The most obvious reason is that a majority of owners realize they could have made money under the Dec. 9 proposal from the players, the one that offered a 24% salary rollback and other significant concessions.

They're not too pleased about Bettman holding out for his personal pet project -- a hard salary cap


--->Toronto Sun<---

They also talk about the Ducks being smart in getting their draft picks signed.

Actually, the Toronto news seems to be somewhat fixated on our Ducks. This is about the 5th or 6th article I have read in the past week that mentions the Ducks in some form or another. biggrin.gif

As for the owners pushing for a deal:

Greed creates timely solutions. biggrin.gif
