[QUOTE="Iuz, post: 1766200, member: 20088"] While I will admit err on this point, I don't think it is as big a deal as you make it, and you certainly could have been more polite. Both sides have offered "consessions" though in both cases what they have offered is not in the same ballpark (arena?) as the other. Teams are responsible for driving up salaries the same way middle class parents are responsible for driving up home prices (everyone wants a better life for their kids so the demand for homes in nice neighborhoods drives prices beyond what anyone can afford) I think the NHL has made many mistakes in the last 15 years, but I do not blame them for high salaries (except in so far as the settlement they reached with the players in 94). After all, who wants to be the Edmonton Oilers (who have let go every player that demanded higher wages since winning the cup in '90). [/QUOTE]
