With a 40 mill cap, Colorado, Toronto, and the NYR will make huge sums of money while Calgary, Nashville, Carolina will only be able to break even, or make a profit with a good playoff run. This lockout is ALL ABOUT THE RICH CLUBS. Read what the Redwings have been saying. Read what Ed Snider has been saying. These bic clubs weren't fine with the last agreement because they feared the value of their franchises has diminished quite a bit. Now they want to raise the stock of their team so that, if in the event they want to sell it, they'll make a pretty penny.
Btw, many of the large market teams have been fairly responsible with their money. It has only been a few bad apples that have raised player salaries: Boston, NYR, Carolina, Montreal, Anaheim are the ones that come to mind. How many of those clubs are part of the large market clubs??? Get your facts straight fans. This lockout isn't about improving competitive balance. Nor is it to reduce the ticket prices. Nor is it all about saving the small markets. This lockout is only about the rich becoming richer at the expense of the fans.
So when you say to us to get our facts straight. That means you want us to agree to your OPINIONS. Sorry, if you prove to me that any of your opinions are fact, I might give it a thought. Until that happens I will go on believing what I think is the truth, and the blame game isn't one of them.
