SLAP SHOTS


It looks like the NHL is bending a little. They have proposed a 50/50 split to the players for hockey related revenue.  However, they have tweaked some other issue, too.  They’re asking that a player have 8 years of service or be 28 years old to be eligible for free agency. Under the previous CBA it was 7 years or 27 years old. Also, entry level contracts extend to 4 years. They were 3 years under the previous agreement. The league says that they would be able to start the season on November 2 and still carry an 82-game schedule.  Like I said, it looks like the NHL is bending a little but not breaking. The NHLPA has a conference call scheduled for 5pm today to review the proposal. Could the Pens lace up their skates soon? We’ll see if this latest offer breaks the ice. Let’s Go Pens!!!
