MacArthur to join German club, Marlies notes and other links

Despite this being “the most important week of negotiations”, there’s been basically nothing in terms of CBA/lockout news since last Thursday. It’s nothing to panic about; after reading the solid material Mirtle at the Globe and mc79 have pumped out over the past few days, I’m pretty confident that we’ll see a resolution to this whole thing soon. But until we do, let’s enjoy the news and notes from other leagues, as well as a few history lessons and another look at how the Leafs may fare when this lockout ends.

Kyle the Reporter has some notes about the Marlies this week in his regular hot and cold article.

Michael at Vintage Leaf Memories asks “What’s your first ever true “blue and white” Leafs’ memory?”

According to the Gazette, Leafs fans have voted Bower the best goalie in team history.

Cam at The Leafs Nation discusses whether the team is well-positioned for the new NHL when this lockout ends.

Blue Chip Prospects takes a closer look at Captain Dion.

And lastly, Clarke MacArthur will join a team in 2nd Bundesliga of Germany.

    Yeh..it was a nice modern school back then…I hear ya on the lack of windows…it also had what they called ”open concept learning”…some of the classrooms had no walls and were wide open to other classes…..it was a collosal failure…you would end up more interested in listening to the other teacher or checking out the girls in the class beside you…lol….some egg head failed bigtime with that idea…

    Looks like some good news on the CBA
    Bruce Garrioch ‏@SunGarriochThe NHLPA has asked for a meeting tomorrow or anytime. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email he didn’t anticipate on happening.

    Bill Daly says the union has expressed a willingness
    to meet but isn’t going to table a proposal: “What would we be meeting
    about?”

    Bill Daly:”they suggested they were willing to meet. But they also told us they weren’t interested in the proposal made last Tuesday.”

    Hint for the NHL/NHLPA: If the other side says they want to meet, the correct answer is “Where and when and what type of pizza do I order?”

    Just a question. If the league reduces the amount owing on existing contracts with  players, would they be subject to “Breach of Contract” law litigation?

    If the players agree to the reductions in the next CBA, the answer is no.

    They can’t do it on their own. It has to be through the collective bargaining agreement. If the players accept a CBA with salary cuts, there’s no breach of contract.

    Everything about the CBA is illegal the fact that the players sign it is what makes it “legal“
