The fairly widely held assumption that players would be taking massive pay cuts to stay where they were was neatly destroyed when around ten teams with formerly low payrolls starting racking up free agent signings for fair to high market value.
So my question is, with the expectation of potentially less revenue this season than usual, given the potential backlash against the sport, lower ticket prices in many occasions, and a lack of a universal TV deal in the US, where is the money coming from to support such inflated payrolls among the league's low spenders?
I'm asking about:
-Edmonton
-Calgary
-Pittsburgh
-Colombus
-Chicago
-Boston
-Columbus
-Florida
etc.
