Today the NHL and the NHLPA agreeded to a salary cap based on each clubs revenue. Although this does not end the lockout, I think its a major step in the right direction for a 05-06 season. The remaining items to agree on are contracts, free agency, and salary arbitration.

Great news, but I'll be happier when they actually get to drop a puck and get the season started. With ESPN opting out of the regular TV contract, it's going to make finding a televised game harder to find in the U.S. Might have to actually break down and get CBC or NHL Center Ice just to follow my teams....

Keeping my fingers crossed that I can use my tickets this year...

If there is a season, ESPN will probably still show some games, but not for the orginal price they rejected.
