Monday evening time and it’s time for the Cold War. Preseason has been on going the regular season is less than a week away. I can feel the excitement growing. The questions are being asked, how will Sidney Crosby rebound? Will Alexander Ovechkin get over 70 goals? Who will win the Cup? What rookie will have the biggest impact? With all these questions the most important question of the season is being overlooked, will the NHLPA choose to opt out of the CBA?
Paul Kelly NHLPA president will be spending the next 2 months travelling from city to city meeting with teams to explain the current situation. I hope he does the opposite of his predecessors Alan Eagleson, Bob Goodenow and of course Ted Saskin. The players are in a good situation now and despite how poor this contract was for them it resulted in bigger contracts to go along with the revenues being generated by their respective clubs. In a time of economic crisis the players are flourishing. Kelly needs to instill this thought into the players’ heads, while allowing them to decide what to do. Past NHLPA heads have always tried to put their own interests ahead of the league and the players. Surely if another work stoppage is to happen then kiss the league goodbye. With large contracts being handed out by the KHL it is evident that the players can make equal the money they get now overseas.
Paul Kelly seems like a smart person; he has being trying to work with the NHL on many things. He and Bettman have worked hand and hand a few things already and have disagreed on others. Kelly is against the teams going to play in Europe so hopefully he can use his clout for that. He is for developing the league here. Kelly also has been hands on in the whole Radulov incident keeping constant communication with the Russian and has been leading the way and trying to get him back to the NHL. With the way he has been open to working with others this past year or so, Kelly should be able to use his clout to not only get the players to agree to keep the current agreement, but begin negotiations for a new contract. This will pay dividends for years to come. I myself never have confidence in the NHLPA Presidents, but I so far have liked what I have seen from Kelly. There are a few minor details that need to be worked out, such as performance bonuses and retire players counting against the Cap. I am certain that with his open-mind and persuasive attitude it is only a matter of time before that does get hatched out. To the players make sure you take the advice of Kelly and not opt out, this is a good deal that has increased your wallets and keeps you on the ice. For the fans the last thing we want to see is another picket line in front of our arenas in the next 2 years.
