No-trade and no-move clauses are not the industry standard in North American sports. NHL contracts represent the outlier.

Approximate number of no-trades/no-moves:
NFL: 8
NBA: 2
MLB: 35
NHL: 245

7am practice. I’m happy; he’s not (just yet).

MLB owners aren’t crying poor. They want competitive balance. A salary cap can deliver that while increasing total player compensation. With only 2% of players earning over $30M, the goal is to spread salaries more evenly across the player pool.

The total amount paid to players will actually increase, not decrease. The difference is that the money will be spread more evenly, with the top players taking home a smaller share.

This is comically bad. They’re being very careful and selective of what they’re saying/showing and how they’re delivering it. This is going to be ugly if they’re trying to sway fan/public support weeks before they even lock us out. At the end of the day- they want to drive down salaries and put more money in the pockets of billionaires. Nobody wins except them. Simple as that. It’s not about competition. It’s never been about competition for them, it just is a nice cover up.

Marty St. Louis doesn’t seem bothered that Outlook still isn’t working.
