The NHL’s second proposal to the players’ union produced some semantic arguments, which is part of the reason that CSNPhilly.com’s Tim Panaccio reports that the NHLPA might not counter tomorrow.
Instead, Panaccio reports that they “hope” to get something done by Friday.
Much like the last time the NHLPA gathered information for a counter, Donald Fehr & Co. claim that they are asking for more specifics from the league.
Union still has not gotten last season specific club by club breakdowns on HRR.

Pat Leonard expands on that point.
Fehr says more info would help @NHLPA determine financial effects of 2nd @NHL proposal on individual teams, not aggregate

Getting more club-specific info might gel well with Fehr’s argument to increase revenue sharing for the league’s have-nots.
