As I suspected. Bettman's goal is to cancel the season no matter what.
The players proposal was a start that the owners could have began discussions on. Instead, they come with the a ridiculous offer that nobody could accept. 35% paycut for over 5 mill *who the heck would give back 1.5 mill). no signing bonuses, no arbitration, and 50% share of revenue whatever they are, even if they're really low.
Bettman's taken the game down the drain, they might as well blow up the NHL now and start the Champions League of Hockey in Europe.
