Dolan sucks!!!
The NHL can not depend upon the NHLPA to solve all of their problems.The NHL has won this labor battle.How much more do they want?The NHLPA has been grinded down so much that a salary cap and linkage will be part of the new CBA
Revenue sharing is the remaining element and the NHLPA has nothing to do with that issue.That is Gary Bettman's problem
Yesterday the NHL and NHLPA spent most of the meeting discussing revenue sharing ideas
Revenue sharing has clearly moved atop the priority list in collective bargaining between the NHL and NHL Players Association. The two sides met for six-and-a-half hours yesterday in Manhattan and according to a person with knowledge of the situation, the sides discussed revenue sharing and the union offered some ideas regarding a significant revenue sharing system that most of the NHL's big-money teams remain opposed to.
A person with knowledge of the union's thinking, however, said, "There's not going to be any agreement until they get all of the owners on the same page" regarding a significant revenue sharing plan. "There cannot be this partnership with the players until they have a partnership among themselves," the person added

What is the problem with revenue sharing?The NHL has the least amount of revenue sharing in any sport.Some of the big money teams own the team,building and have a regional sports network.Every revenue stream goes into the same pot
The high-revenue clubs are opposed to giving a greater share of their revenues to the small-market clubs. This idea is a basic staple behind every one of the NHLPA's proposals.
Bettman met with Toronto Maple Leafs boss Larry Tannenbaum recently asking for his support for disproportionate revenue-sharing. If Tannenbaum agrees, so will Flyers chairman Ed Snider. If those two agree, other wealthy clubs are expected to fall in line.
Bettman did not contact the Flyers, Snider said. But Snider, who has opposed disproportionate revenue-sharing on the grounds that small-market clubs will never be able to market themselves as well as the Flyers do, appears to be willing to accede to Bettman's wishes - if other wealthy franchises agree.
"We are fully in support of whatever the league's position will be," Snider said

The Flyers are owned by Comcast which is the largest cable operator in the United States.Do the Flyers market themselves better than a small market franchise?They don't have to market their team.The fan base does not need to have the Flyers push tickets on them.Why is Snider against revenue sharing?The Flyers are still going to make tremendous profits under a cap system.Comcast owns the team,building and a sports network.Just like my favorite team the Rangers.The ticket revenue,the signage,the advertising in the building,the advertising on the sports network and the beer money goes into the same pot
