[NHL Proposes New Deal to Players' Association During Ongoing Labor Talks](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/nhl-proposes-new-deal-to-players-association-during-ongoing-labour-talks/article4504860/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- Chris Johnston at the Globe and Mail

> According to a source, Tuesday’s proposal from the NHL called for a six-year deal — the first three delinked from hockey-related revenues and the last three coming with a 50-50 split (when factoring in a redefinition of HRR). As a result, the salary cap would climb from $58 million in 2012-13 to approximately $71 million in 2017-18, the last season of the contract.

> Pressure is mounting on both sides with the CBA set to expire Sept. 15 and the league having already stated it will lock the players out if a new agreement isn’t in place by then.
> 
> There’s a growing feeling throughout the sport that it’s an inevitability. [Minnesota Wild](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/minnesota-wild?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) forward [Zach Parise](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54960/zach-parise?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), who signed a monster US$98-million, 13-year deal in free agency, became the latest to voice that opinion this week when he told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that "Gary’s pretty adamant about his third lockout of his tenure."

Just a six-year deal? What sort of bullshit is that? This whole process is such horseshit.
