It appears the 50 game initial penalty is principally a response to criticisms which have been made of our current program. We share your concern about the criticism our program has received, and, in response, the players have demonstrated, several times now, their willingness to take all reasonable measures in response. But we are still required to adopt, and defend, reasonable, fair and appropriate agreements.

There's some informal discussions among staff going on and a bunch of research being done by both sides. I don't think it will be too long before we start.

All of the years when people said the relationship was bad, it never was as bad as they said. Now when people say its wonderful, its not as good as everyone says. There are issues that are in need of working out in a businesslike manner. Hopefully it will lead to harmonious bargaining, but you just cant tell.
