This might explain why the AHL Chicago team outdraws the NHL team...Wirtz has gotta be told...John Flyers Fan said:

Cause our owner is 75.
He wants it to be like the 60's when the owners had 100% control.

It is truly pathetic that an excellent hockey market like Chicago has to put up with an owner and management like this.
If that's true about Chicago I firmly beleive they just want to do whats best for them and not whats best for the game.
They'll survive, after all there is a 300 million dollar league lockout pool to draft from and given their depths of prospects they are on solid footing for the future.
If they can be kept them from folding then I don't see why they would object to hockey being played this season.

Agreed.
Since wirtz is 75 hopefully his son (peter) will take over soon.
In my opinion, it is vital for there to be hockey this year. I think the NHL can get on the right track with a shortened season and playoffs, but no season is devastating. And about the Blackhawk organization not wanting to play,

Isn't the reason you own a hockey team is to have that team play hockey. I hate that man and I don't even like the Hawks or anything.

Im wondering if it has anything to do with their record last year and their perceived shot at Crosby because of it.
Wirtz is probably having flashbacks to Denis Savard revitalizing a dormant franchise (which made him a TON of cash) and hoping that Crosby would do the same.
Of course Wirtz is so senile he probably thinkss its Bing Crosby.

I don't see the Hawks finishin bottom 5 if there is a season.
Brown, Barnaby and Cullimore would not have been signed if that was the plan.
In a 28 game season, any team could finish in the bottom 5. Just need one big slump.Wally112pac said:
BBBB Bing Crosby....too funny...F Chicago
Lemieux is helping these talks and Pittsburgh is behind Bettman, I am guessing most NHL teams will take this deal when it comes down
if you can't compete with a 45 million dollar cap in the NHL then you should fold
I'm a Pens fan and I think if you get CP within 15 million of every other team, we will be fine
esp when Pittsburgh gets its new arena....
with revenue sharing, if every team can get up to 32-34 million....with a 45 million cap and dollar for dollar luxury tax at 40 or 42...that should be fine
if owners want to pay that dollar for dollar cap....that could be 20 million for small market teams to split + revenue sharing...hopefully the NHL does not back of of the .5 cent drag on salaries at 34 million but change it to 36 or 37 million
that would create even more money

Don't want too create too much money, but I do agree that around $30 million to around $45 million is fine for top to bottom as far as salaries go. Every team should be competative if they make good decisions.
