from TSN,

A day after talks broke off between the National Hockey League and the Players' Association, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr sent a memo to the players outlining the three proposals that the union made.

The following is an excerpt of the memo sent out on Friday.

Brief summary of the three core-economic proposals we made yesterday. Each has the players' share declining over the life of the agreement. Each of the proposals has substantial cost reductions – lower player salaries – that would be realized by the owners. However, we maintained our position that given the concessions made by the players in the last agreement, and the 7 years of record revenue which followed, there is no reason for the absolute amount of the players' share to be reduced.
