any true NHL fan would be a better choice then Bettman
David Stern would kill to have the CBA the NHL has. Bettman outclass Stern no contest. Stern is overrated as a commish. I would say that right now the NHL is healthier than the NBA.
Mr. Selig's thoughts? How did you determine them? Have you been in touch with a secretary in the MLB offices to determine them?The NBA's CBA was just renewed a year or so ago, with only minor changes. Seems to me that Mr. Stern would've taken the Gary Bettman\General Sherman approach to labor negotiations if their deal was so bad.
And if anyone is interested in Bud Selig's thoughts, he has *nothing* but praise for MLB's current luxury tax deal.

David Stern is the best Commishioner. That guy made basketball what it is today. At one point basketball was struggling and now it is just booming.
You need a good forward thinker like that.
Daly would definitely be the ideal man to take this position but I would also like to see Brian Burke, he's clearly shown his managerial skills and his knowledge of the game and it's business would definitely make the nhl a more profitable game.
Please explain how, with the economic model the NHL has where aggregate player salaries are fixed and all teams have a limited amount they can spend when putting together a roster, "the league will be bankrupt in a few years."Anyways, with this cap, the league will be bankrupt in a few years anyways, and then we'll see who's laughing, Mr. Smarty Pants.
You're not serious, are you IB?Please explain how, with the economic model the NHL has where aggregate player salaries are fixed and all teams have a limited amount they can spend when putting together a roster, "the league will be bankrupt in a few years."
yet they sold him under the bus when they caved even though he told them it would be a long fight to get what "they" wanted and voted for.
Rubbish. Absolute rubbish. He said that for public consumption only. The PA's strategy was founded solely on the assumption that the previous lockout would repeat itself and the owners would fold. THAT is what he told the players.
i'd love to see goodenow named the commissioner and destroy saskin and the players union.
I asked for an explanation. Who said it doesn't matter - I want to see how the statement is justified.You're not serious, are you IB?
Read the name of the author of that post, dude.

Stern is one of the best commisioners of all time. One time basketball was neck and neck with Hockey, but Stern made the NBA that much more popular. That man is a smart man.

It has nothing to do with Stern and everything to do with pop culture.
What does pop culture have to do with anything? are you referring to the infusion of basketball with the popularity of rap and hip-hop?

Yup.
