TORONTO (AP) — The NHL Players’ Association is preparing to present its vision for a new collective bargaining agreement to the NHL when labor talks resume Tuesday.
Just don’t call it a counterproposal. NHLPA executive director Don Fehr said on Monday the union’s proposal will offer a “different kind of an approach” and an “alternate view.”
The presentation will come a month after the NHL made its first proposal, which included a 20 percent reduction of players’ share of revenues and limitations to free agency.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said he’s interested to see what the union has to offer, but declined to speculate what might be included.
