I'm sure you guys know about Forbes, a magazine that hates ownership and business. They've just posted an article ripping Bettman, if you can believe it.

They don't even mention how everything is Goodenow and the PA's fault!
What the **** is a supply-demand curve? The greedy players make too much!
But then he doesn't say that it's because the players are greedy. What the **** is this guy's problem?
Do Strachan and Brooks write for Forbes?

Hockey's illness is Bettman, a basketball man who is a prodigy of NBA commissioner David Stern. Bettman and the owners he works for trashed the league's identity when they tried to turn a cash-rich, mom-and-pop league into a growth industry.

Finally, the rapid expansion of the league moved the supply-demand curve towards accelerating player salaries while at the same time diluting the talent pool.

Only someone (like the current commissioner) completely unfamiliar with what makes hockey great could not see the likely result: During the 1996-1997 season the 26 NHL teams had an average operating profit (in the sense of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $2.3 million. Last season they lost an average of $3.2 million.
