Tonight Bill Waters on Josh Rimer's podcast stated that he believes Gary Bettman's plan for November may be to introduce replacement players to the NHL. My sources aren't hearing the same thing but I was curious what your thoughts would be if Gary were to take this tact?

from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,
The release of Jonathon Gatehouse’s new book, The Instigator: How Gary Bettman Remade the League and Changed the Game Forever(Penguin), could perhaps only be better timed if it had hit shelves on the day of the NHL commissioner’s retirement.

I missed not having training camp!
Hey everyone, it’s been a while, but what’s a month between blogs, right?
Especially when we’re 18 days into a lockout. But, today I’ve got a little something for you. No, I’m not going to break the news that Gary Bettman was struck by a bus and that at least one of the Fehr brothers was seen dancing on or around his flattened corpse....

“You hope it doesn’t go too long, but it’s tough to grasp when you’ve got a guy in Gary Bettman bragging every year that we’re making ‘record revenue, record revenue, record this,’ and all of a sudden they want to take a quarter of what you’ve made away. That doesn’t make sense to anybody. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in.”
