| Arnott believes season is only 'just sort of dead' Friday, February 18, 2005 Dallas Stars forward Jason Arnott doesn't think the NHL season is really dead. He prefers using the description "just sort of dead." Arnott is one person who is holding out hope that there is some truth to those rumors of a movement to reverse this week's cancellation of the season. "I think it is just sort of dead," was Arnott's response when asked whether he thought the season was dead during a brief interview with Bob Sturm on KTCK-1310 The Ticket Friday afternoon. "I think they are really trying hard to get something going and that's a positive thing. Who knows. There still may be a season to go." They, in this case, would apparently be a group of NHL players who are reportedly trying to put together a proposal to bridge the gap between the league's last offer and the final offer of the NHLPA. Several newspapers reported that the group of players are cobbling together an offer of a salary cap that might be $45 million to $46 million, which essentially splits the difference between the league's offer of $42.5 million and the PA's offer of $49 million. So far, according to one report, the players have not approached the league about the plan. | |
