CJallDAY Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If the lockout continues until the start of the season, wouldn't the drafted players be able to play as "replacements" since they technically are not under contract yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 And would they even have to play for the team that drafted them? Some strange things that when on during the 1987 strike: 1987 Strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 nope - no games can happen under the current lockout. its not that players are refusing to play, its that owners are refusing to let them. that said, i mean that with no slant or negativity towards either side, just a stark difference in "crossing the line" when the line is being drawn by the owners not the players. and all that said, this could change dramatically as days go by. its a very fluid situation.

Thud Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The owners are locking them out due to the union de-certifying. There is no contract therefore no terms of employment. Looks like the union blew it again. Just kill the goose take the eggs and go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
