TORONTO -- The NHL and the NHL Players' Association have agreed on a salary-cap system, eliminating the biggest stumbling block to the resumption of play next season, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported on its Web site Wednesday.
The paper reported that a source close to the owners, and another close to both owners and players, said there would be a team-by-team salary cap, based on a percentage of the revenue of each franchise.
In what is believed to be a six-year agreement, based on revenue projections by both sides, the salary cap will range from $34 million to $36 million, with the floor from $22 million to $24 million.
The league has previously demanded that the cap be 54 percent of a team's revenue.
However, this does not mean that an overall deal on the lockout is imminent. Negotiators for the players and owners are now working on other issues such as salary arbitration and free agency, according to GlobeandMail.com.
"They still have a ways to go," one source told the paper, although with the cap issue settled there is reason to hope a deal can be reached by early July.
NHL vice-president Bill Daly, the league's chief negotiator, declined to confirm or deny reports of a salary-cap deal.
But he did say publicly on Tuesday that negotiators had moved on to other issues, including salary arbitration, free agency, qualifying contract offers and others.
The lockout caused the cancellation of the 2004-05 season.
HOORAY!! Hockey's back!!! C'mon, anyone...

It can be very confusing for a boy your age. You want to rebel against traditional family roles, but you're not entirely sure how.
