NHLPA '93, unlike its predecessor NHL Hockey, had all the real NHL players including names and physical attributes and ratings.
NHLPA '93 scrolled vertically where the nets were located at the top and the bottom of the screen.

 Star gazing under the NHLPA plan
The NHLPA said its 24 percent salary rollback, which would apply to players who were on NHL rosters for at least 90 days in 2003-04, would have saved the Stars $12.8 million in payroll costs had the 2004-05 season been played in its entirety.
The NHLPA figures do not take in to account, nor does the proposal mention, players such as Trevor Daley and Antti Miettinen, who would made $750,000 and $700,000 at the NHL level in 2004-05 respectively.
Although the NHLPA proposal doesn't go into a lot of details about the formula, there would be revenue sharing among the teams that would fall outside any redistribution that comes from the luxury tax system.

 SI.com - Writers - Michael Farber: NHLPA remains strong-willed - Tuesday January 4, 2005 11:47PM
The NHL wants to link salaries to gross revenues of the league at somewhere in the neighborhood of 53 percent, in effect capping payrolls at around $31 million, while the NHLPA wants teams to be free to set their own payrolls.
And conversely if the if the NHLPA proposed a luxury tax of $2 for every one spent beyond, say, $22 million, Bettman would stop denigrating the salutary effects of a tax.
While the NHLPA has dragged its feet on the safety of its members -- it has not been forceful enough in pushing for visors and no-touch icing -- it has done a brilliant job of making its members rich the past decade.

 Hockey Trade Rumors - NHLPA's definition of
dog_farts writes " After hearing the NHLPA regurgitate over and over again that all they are looking for is a "fair" deal, I decided to check it out and see what their definition of the word "fair" actually means.
Now, since the NHLPA does not consider the salary tax systems of the NBA and the NFL to be "fair", and everyone but the NHLPA knows that the CBA of the "New York Yankees" Baseball League doesn't work, I thought I should look elsewhere.
Since, the NHLPA contends that hockey is an entertainment business and cannot be compared to employment at General Motors or McDonalds's, I thought "That's fair" (no pun intended), and maybe I should look at the actual entertainment industry.

 On the Wings: NHLPA Decertification?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Once the NHL declares an impasse (and it's a myth they need approval for this), the NHLPA likely would go to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and file a charge that the NHL was bargaining in bad faith all along.
The NHLPA could decertify itself and file anti-trust lawsuits against the owners, charging collusion in "establish[ing] rules, constraining the mobility of players from one club to another." The NHLPA would not be bound by the terms of the implemented CBA and it would be up to individual players whether to become replacement players.
Or the NHLPA could just vote no on the new CBA and decertify itself immediately, which is what I think Tom Benjamin is getting at.

 NHL Files Labour-Suit against NHLPA - Xbox Addict Asylum
Any NHLPA member is eligible to receive the benefit, but media reports have suggested players have been told they would be forced to give back any benefit monies if they became replacement players for the league next season.
The NHLPA has indicated to its certified player agents that any agent who would negotiate a contract on behalf of a replacement player next season would be in danger of losing his NHLPA certification.
The filing of an unfair labor practice over internal NHLPA mechanisms (that would make it more difficult for NHLPA members to become replacement players) and the threat of another filing (decertifying agents who would represent replacement players) would appear to be clearing the path for replacement player hockey in the fall.

Perhaps the NHLPA has become so self centered it also is only concerned about itself, its image and its continued revenue source than any labour solidarity sincerity.
And just perhaps the NHLPA can no longer relate to the plight of every day working men and women, the very fan base the NHLPA expects to keep emptying their pockets to pay for million dollar salaries of NHL players.

The paper says the agent must explain his client's free agent status, the player's potential arguments in upcoming contract negotiations, his team's potential arguments; an analysis of his previous contract; his stats; an analysis of his place in the marketplace; and a recommendation of how much the player should make.
Daly also told the paper that the NHLPA groups free agents with arbitration rights into "three buckets: guys they want in salary arbitration, guys who are better to negotiate and guys in a third bucket in terms of withholding (services)," meaning the NHLPA chooses who goes to arbitration, who doesn't and who holds out.

With the cap tied to revenues, however, it can rise or fall from year to year, hence the reason for the $5 million jump from last season's $39 million to this season's $44 million.
Interestingly enough, that $44 million was considered too high by some team owners when it was originally proposed by the NHLPA during those frantic last-minute negotiations in February 2005 to save the 2004-05 season.
Even if some of the current arbitrators are replaced, there's no guarantee their replacements will rule more favorably for the teams in future cases.
