So, what does this mean come next CBA negotiations?  Will the “old guard” attempt to overthrow the salary cap?  Will the owners smell blood with all of this turmoil and go after guaranteed contracts, figuring that the union is too week from fighting themselves to fight them?  To be honest, when it comes to the politics of the NHL, I really wish things were much more boring.

With so much division within the players union I have no idea how a new CBA will be negotiated that the majority of the players will vote for. I hope I'm wrong but unless the union stabilizes - which would likely require concessions from both sides - we could easily be looking at another work stoppage. Great post.
