Oh, to be as all-knowing as Larry Brooks!
Larry, better known as Bob Goodenow's NY press agent, writes in the New York Post about the "lies" the NHL is putting forth and "reveals" how the league is NOT really trying to make a partnership with the NHLPA. Unfortunately, Larry can't read as well as he writes (which isn't too well) and is missing the point of most of what he "reports".
For example, he cites this:

"Article 5 - Management Rights. The League believes the growth of revenues to be shared by the players will be enhanced by the NHLPA granting the League greater flexibility in the operation of the business in various operational, financial and marketing areas."

as an example of how the NHL is trying to blow up the partnership. Schmuck. The NHLPA has zero marketing staff - the League as a big one. Maybe they could do a better job of growing the pie on behlf of both the NHL and the NHLPA.
Or this

"Article 11 - Standard Player's Contract. We propose to revise and simplify the SPC by moving many of its provisions to the CBA [and] revising provisions inconsistent with the goals of the new economic system."

. Read! It gives the CBA more weight and, therefore, the NHLPA more clout.
Or this

Article 18 - Commissioner Discipline. We propose to increase the Commissioner's fining authority and to improve current procedures."
