I just signed Justin Williams to a long term contract in the last 24 hours, now as the owner of the Canucks, i want him to take a 15% cut in his contract, or i will not let him play. You tell me if i have that right to do this.

You know what definitely isn't fair? Making us all read posts with giant empty black spots. Stop hitting enter man!!! Now for a serious answer to your question, were you doing business under what is called a "collective bargaining agreement"? If so, did said agreement happen to expire shortly after signing Mr. Williams? If it did, you have the right to ask for whatever the hell you want as an owner, provided you have a provision in your newly minted contract that states Mr. Williams' salary may change if the current CBA is no longer in place. Whether the NsHLPA would be inclined to agree with your demands is another story. Seeing as we aren't the NHL, we are in good shape! ;D Is it "fair"? Fair is a relative term Michael. When discussing what I believe you are trying to talk about, it is important to eliminate emotions. "Fair", in this instance, is what both parties agree to. Which, so far, is nothing. If at the end of this latest delay in regularly scheduled NHL programming both sides agree to lower the NHLPA's share, then it will be deemed as "fair". But let us be clear Michael, this isn't Lucy pulling the ball away from Charlie Brown. As much as people may want to believe otherwise, players (and more importantly their agents) aren't morons. They all know their contracts collectively can only make up a certain percentage of the pie. The also know that percentage is only good under the current CBA, which at this point in time does not exist. Whatever the new split is, that is what the players can collectively consume. Of course, if the players don't enjoy working under that type of system, by all means they could attempt to get the league to agree to doing business differently. I have no earthly idea why they would want to do such a thing, but that is up to them. But seriously, stop hitting enter!!!

I think as a league it might not be fair, but it is done all the time in many businesses.
With the changes in the economy (especially in the States), how many businesses went back to their employees and said we need to change it.
Hello Twinkies!!!
