Lonny Bohonos on being a replacement player

But let it be understood that if the NHL ever attempts to reconvene with replacement players -- which is seeming more likely with each passing day -- that not an angry word be taken seriously from any NHLPA member who challenges a replacement player. They aren't acting like scabs; it just seems that way.

"That's what they're doing, isn't it?" asked Bohonos. "Isn't it? I understand what they're fighting for. I used to be one of them. I never cared much for the business side of hockey but I've got a family to feed. I've got to get the best deal I can get."

Perhaps a year from now, when the NHL may open its training camp doors to anyone who will enter, Lonny Bohonos will gladly compete for a job.

"One hundred percent," he said. "I can tell you that right now. If they want me to be a replacement player, I'll play."

Maybe, just maybe, he'll take a job from someone who took his.

The ratings were bad when the NFL used replacement players. But, it did get the union to crack as every week you had a few more players crossing the picket line.

They took his job in Europe. He'd still be there if it wasn't for the lockout.
