Reasons why the lockout was worth it:
So let’s park the bitterness and see the upside of all this. Both the franchise and fans are financially stronger right now, and small market teams will benefit the most from this deal. Less salary inflation, more ownership profits, less pressure to raise ticket prices to chase wild salary cap levels to remain competitive.
What do you think?
- I saved 42% of my season ticket holder cost.
- As of our game on January 19th, we’re tied for 1st with 48 games to go.
- Preds will give more discounts and perks for the rest of the year for repentance.
- They are less likely to raise ticket prices next year.
- The Cap is coming down to $64.3mm next year, making it more affordable to be a Cap Team without having to buy-out or trade talent to get down to the Cap.
- New profit-sharing and 50-50 revenue split makes our franchise more financially stable, thus ensuring we have NHL hockey for generations.
- Full Pred interest doesn’t usually heat up in Smashville until after college football and NFL seasons are over. New start dates kicks in right when Nashville sports fans kick in. Beautiful.
- Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Crappy Titan season coupled with no hockey = nothing to root for. Like George Bailey, we’ve been given a wonderful gift: To see what the world would be like without Pred hockey. Atta boy, Clarence.
