one other point i think should be mentioned is that it would most likely be a lockout brought about by the owners rather then the players themselves striking. i'm not sure but it might make a difference in terms of players under contract to individual teams being able to play elsewhere. also the owners are to blame because when it comes down to it, they are the ones paying the players and signing the contracts.
another point is that i don't think the problem is the elite players like say sakic or foresberg making what they do, it's the players probably in like the 2-4 million or so range that are being overpayed and plus there's so many of them, bobby holik is like one example that comes to mind.
