Frankly, among the things I don't understand is the NHLPA's attitude. The NHL responded to the NHLPA's offer, accepting some things, asking for others, such as the 24% roll-back, to be structured differently. Yet, as shown in this piece on TSN.ca, the PA continues to say the NHL won't negotiate. Isn't negotiation a back and forth? Didn't the NHL respond in great detail and point by point to the PA's proposal? Yes. And so when Bill Daly says ''From my perspective, if there are elements of our counter-proposal that are unacceptable to them or that they don't like, let's talk about them - let's get back to the negotiating table,'' Daly said. ''Let's discuss it," I think that's an invitation to the PA to keep the process going. But like all the other lies the NHLPA tells, the lie of "the NHL won't negotiate" is shown for what it is by the facts.
