Whose pro-Owner? I am unlikely to ever be one or even to meet one. I am pro-fan and pro-NHL. And the biggest anti-sport and anti-fan factor in sports today is unchecked spending by the haves in a given sport which makes the game virtually unwatchable unless you come from those few blessed areas. Your players develope and go to those markets making you feel like a farm team for the big markets, who field virtual all-star teams year in year out, and at its worst (NHL not there yet but was quickly heading there) the majority of teams have little chance to compete absent a miracle on par with winning the lottery.
No, I am not pro-owner, I do not have anything against them making a profit, nothing against big player salaries either, but when it comes at the expense of the game and its watchability for me and the majority of fans of franchises league-wide, I know where I stand.
