That has yet to be seen, I guess, but I don't think there's that significant a gap between them outside of the variance on the deals. I just meant that they've gotten the owners to moderate their position with every subsequent offer.
For sure. I don't think there is much left to squeeze though but Fehr seems willing - and has convinced the players - to go as far as he needs to in order to extract every potential penny. He seems fine with the concept of holding everyone over the edge of the season cancelling cliff to do it too.
This is the biggest stumbing block to get over in these negotiations. Both sides believe that they smell blood from the other side right now. This is a dangerous stance for both parties to take this late in the game, and the one final hurdle that could essentially still kill the the rest of the season. Lets hope they both aren't as stupid as they come across right now, and that cooler heads can still prevail.
