Kind of OT: Hard salary cap coming?

They have to do it 100% across the board or it doesn't work. The players/agents will seek out those owners/GMs willing to cross the picket line, so to speak.

I think it will simply come down to this: All of the players are used to getting big paychecks and not thinking too far into the future. They have mansions, expensive cars, expensive friends, expensive lifestyles. Most of which, are making payments on such things. They will have their meetings with the owners, won't come to an agreement, and the owners will lock them out. Then after the players start getting squeezed for payments, they will give in. It might take a while, but they will give in.
