	2004-05 NHL lockout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NHL Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Bill Daly[2] was promoted to deputy commissioner after the lockout.
		With the NHL inactive, the top eligible U-20 players were not playing in that league and thus were available to their countries for the tournament.
		A noted trend unrelated of hockey but at least partially caused by the NHL lockout is the massive increase in the popularity of Texas hold 'em.

	MPR: NHL owners to lock out players Thursday
		NHL management claims it needs changes in the labor contract because teams are losing money, $273 million in 2002-03 and $224 million last season, according to the league.
		The NHL's average salary has risen from $733,000 at the time of the last lockout to $1.8 million last season, according to the NHL players' association.
		While NHL revenue rose from $732 million in 1993-94 to $1.9 billion in 2002-03, the league says that player costs have increased from 57 percent of revenue to 75 percent over that period, figures the union disputes.

	NHL Lockout
		Bettman argues that NHL revenues aren't keeping up with increasing player salaries and that has to change if the league is to survive.
		For the NHL, this is defined as "a rational and enforceable relationship between revenues and player salaries." It is better known as a salary cap, but the NHL avoids using that phrase because it believes there are ways to meet this goal without placing a hard and fast limit on team payrolls.
		The NHL Players' Association disputes the financial figures released by the league, believing that teams are under-reporting revenues and over-reporting expenses.

		The NHL gave the union six proposals, but the players said all used a salary cap.
		The NHL office has laid off more than 100 people, but, according to commissioner Gary Bettman, the league is continuing to pay health insurance and severance.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports -- Long freeze ends, NHL lockout all but over
		This lockout was worse than any in sports, dwarfing the one that cut the 1994-95 hockey season nearly in half and resulted in the agreement that expired last September.
		The landscape of the NHL will be quite different than it was in June 2004 when the Tampa Bay Lightning skated off with the Stanley Cup in the league's last game before the lockout.
		The NHL probably won't hold such an event until 2007 as next year's All-Star game is expected to be replaced by an Olympic break, allowing for players to represent their countries in Turin, Italy.

		The presumption is the NHL would counter with an offer that would at least get the two sides to the bargaining table for the first time since September.
		Remember it seemed that during the last lockout, the NHL pushed as hard as it could to the point of the drop-dead date and then took the best deal it could achieve.
		Many NHL players have structured their deals in Europe to allow them to move to another European team if the season is canceled.

		That said, most analysts feel that the lockout would be a lengthy one and if the two sides aren't able to come together before the September 15th deadline, there is a good chance the entire season could be scrapped.
		And while the NHL owners and players get ready to dig into their respective trenches, trying to score a quadruple overtime goal and stave off a strike, hockey's minor leagues such as the AHL and IHL, couldn't be happier as they might become the only game in town, and they are just fine with that.
