IlliniKrush Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 8, 2012 -> 10:03 AM) I haven't followed this closely enough to even know what the points of contention are. Who is RIGHT in this deal? I have always had the sense that hockey isn't making enough money for the players to get paid the way they do. Neither. Seriously. Neither. They are paid fine, NHL was doing quite well in revenue over the past 7 years (not all teams, but the league overall was making a lot). The issue is on how to break up the large pie (HRR), contract lengths, make whole provision, on and on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication therefore is that they're no longer a major sports organization. And I'm not sure I can disagree. QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) NHL was just coming back from the last time they pulled this s***.. you'd think they would learn by now only way they stay relevant is to be playing.. Sadly, the lesson they probably learned is that it's easier to come back from that lockout than they thought, since they were doing better than beforehand, overall.

He has also led an overexpansion of the league that has really hurt the overall profitability of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
