Wow the man is a genius .. Anyone in real life that produced those results would be fired so fast its not funny.
That is just pathetic .. Then he goes into CBA talks with the only option making the players accountable and partners in the business that shows such lofty creativity.
Remind me again how much a FREE national TV deal adds to total league revenue to bump that Hard Cap figure up ??
Hard to market anything when you have no product!
Put hockey back on the ice--that would be a start. Then slowly rebuild interest on a local level, then regionally. Then sell it nationally. That is the only way out of this mess.
When ESPN does come back, they'll pay!
