Lockout fund
Goodenow likes to say how the owners have been planning this lockout since 1998 and if it were up to him and the players they would still be playing. He often mentions the owners $300 million dollar lockout fund as some kind of proof of their intentions to have no hockey.
Ask yourself these questions:
1. When do you think the players started saving for their lockout fund individually - persuaded by the PA of course?
2. How much do you think the players have saved?
3. How much money did the NHLPA stash away from their licensing revenues?
I've done some calculations and I would bet the total lockout fund of the players far exceeds the $300 million of the owners.
