$250,000 into the lockout fund from Atlanta Thrashers minority owner Steve Belkin, who told the "Boston Herald":
We are going to try everything we can to resolve this. If we reach an impasse and it goes on for a year, we will attempt to bring in other players. That's not good for anyone. That's a last resort. But if that's the only alternative, say, a year from now, we'll probably proceed with doing that, and then hopefully start building up the caliber of the players over a period of time.
Then said:
I deeply regret the comments I made to the Boston Herald, which were my personal, uninformed views, and not those of the Atlanta Thrashers' ownership and management -- nor those of the National Hockey League.
Yah.
