From Daily Telegraph today: "The NHL has been closed down after commissioner Gary Bettman announced a "lockout" of players. Talks between NHL clubs and their players have continually broken down over a proposed salary cap. The NHL lost $224m ( £124m) last season. Players earn around $1.83m (£1m) per year and according to Bettman take around 75% of overall revenue. He wants this reduced to less than 50%. Some players have already made contingency plans by signing with european clubs. With no end in sight in the stand-off which could see the cancellation of the entire season" Anyone know if theres any truth in this? or is it just paper talk?
