Jonathan Toews said the NHL's latest offer is "something," but he isn't excited by it. "As long as they don't think it's like their final, drastic attempt to salvage an 82-game season," Toews said. "If they were that desperate to conserve an 82-game season and get things done, this would have been done already. There's no real effort there." Toews implied that the NHL's latest offer - which would give the players a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenues - was more a PR maneuver than a genuine attempt to end the lockout. The NHL's offer did close the gap between the players and owners, but it's clear that we're not out of the woods yet.
