But those players can't be on the ice performing if not for the owners putting money behind them.
it's a partnership. Should be no more than 52/48
It isn't a partnership, never has been probably never will be.
I am not suggesting owners shouldn't be allowed to make money, the question is how much?
Overall the NHL is a profitable organization, yet some of its member are losing money.
The question as I see it, should the players take less so every owner makes a profit, with some owners making double digit profit, or should there be a true partnership where both side contribute?
My opinion is it should be the partnership, but the NHL has shown no desire to take this path.
When an owner goes broke, does the franchise disappear?
