Screw SportsCenter . . . I plant myself right here on FreeRepublic whenever a breaking story like this unfolds. LOL!
I'll type it as they say it.
Gretz, and Mario are there. 45 million dollar cap. A combined effort of players, owners, agents and GMs (nobody mentioned Bettman or Goodenow). Owners were mad about take-it or leave-it, thought they could get a deal at 45.
Possibility of deal but no hockey mentioned by a few.
