Cap too restrictive
With the current collective bargaining agreement set to expire and an owners’ lockout pending, I want to take this opportunity to write to fans about the players’ efforts to reach a new agreement with the league. First of all, I want you to know that the players will not strike. We want to play NHL hockey this year and none of us want the owners to lock us out In fact, we’ve pledged to play next season while we continue to negotiate, if a new deal can’t be reached before Sept 15.

Sens re-sign Busniuk to aid Cameron
Dave Cameron appeared in just 50 American League games as a player, having spent most of his time in the Central League between NHL stints. And he has but? half-season of experience behind an AHL bench as an assistant to Al MacAdam on the 1999-2000 St. John’s Maple Leafs. But the new bench boss of the Binghamton Senators will have plenty of AHL knowledge to tap into now that Mike Busniuk has signed on for a second straight season as assistant coach in Binghamton. Busniuk, 52, won four Calder Cup championships as a player, including one with the 1977 Nova Scotia Voyageurs and three with the Maine Mariners (1978, 1979 and 1984). He also won an AHL championship as an assistant coach with the 1999-2000 Hartford Wolf Pack. Cameron spent the past four…
