Not to rag on you, but haven't you said that every year when the CBA "expires" but they just keep ratifying another year onto it? Or am I mistaking you for another person who keeps saying that?
There has only been one CBA since the last lockout I think. So I don't really think you know what or who you are talking about.
It has been slated to expire but hasn't because they kept extending more years onto it.
Here is the info on it.
"The current CBA is set to expire on September 15, 2012. The 2011–12 NHL season was the final year of the current collective bargaining agreement as the
NHL Players' Association would no longer have the option to extend the current CBA."Like I said, they don't have the option to extend it anymore so it will expire.
So I don't know what I'm talking about huh?
I guess expire was the wrong word to use, but I couldn't think of another word to use so I put it in quotes since they had the option of extending it. I could have sworn someone kept saying year after year when they had that option they would lockout every year.
Quote:
Initially signed as a six-year deal, the 2005 NHL CBA gave the NHL Players' Association an option to terminate it after the fourth year or extend it to a seventh year. The NHLPA exercised its right to extend the agreement, so it remained in effect until September of 2012.
So it was only one extendable year, but I swore someone said they would lockout this year because of the CBA and the option to extend it a 7th year.
