With all the rhetoric heating up in the sports media, it is time to ask the question;
Is the NHL season in jeopardy?
I feel like everyone always just assumed it would happen but there are clearly some major issues. Covid-19 aside, there are major financial concerns as well. Owners stand to see major revenue shortfalls. Players have signed up for a 50/50 split. It seems as though the NHLPA just wants to push the problems down the line instead of dealing with it now. This could create a financially unstable NHL in the future.
No matter how you look at it, 50/50 is 50/50. In good times and in bad.
I don’t like that the NHLPA is trying to spread out debt repayment as far into the future as possible. I liken it to family debt. You either pay it back quickly or you slowly chip away at it and risk that the problem grows uncontrollably..... maybe even leaving your kids to deal with it when you are gone.
I am very excited for this new look Leafs team but I am growing concerned that there will not be a season.
What do people think?
