Yeah, but.... (none / 0) (#11)

If a player goes to another league and gets injured, his contract with the NHL (multi-millions compared to the 100-300 thousand with the other leage) is null and void.

The players can get along without the NHL, but they can't play the way the do in the NHL or they risk losing it all.

I agree with a previous post.  Look to the NFL for suggestions on how to get it resolved.

there won't be multi-millions to collect, anyway.  That's the big picture in all of this.  The pie just ain't that big anymore.  Owners want $3bn, players want $3bn, league makes $1.5bn.  That's some kinda fuckedup math there.  All of this stupid expansion into stupid markets has destroyed all hope of profitability.

I have no problem when athletes want to make lots of $$$.  But when they want to make so much money that it bankrupts half the league, well that's just asinine.  Yes, it's primarily the owners' fault, but the players are also being stupid.
