There's this thing called school and a social life. Maybe you've heard of it. Unlikely, but hey.

Not to mention when people do manage to get on, there are kind of a lot of new (and better) games out now.

Edit: Also, his point still stands. Regardless of your completely irrelevant "point".

You're always good for a laugh.

Did I just walk into some EASHL cock fight?

Did I just walk into some EASHL cock fight?

No. I don't give a fuck at this point. Got other games to play and other things to worry about. Smiley points out hypocrisy, he takes a stupid and irrelevant jab, I explain and he comes back with another shitty post.

Par for course really.

 

[CCF23]

So what you're saying is I misclassified what type of cock fight it was. Got it.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Exactly.

Oh, hey guys, what's going on he--

Just want to say as things are now its looking like Morgan Rielly was a great pick by double B.

 

[Solo]

He's good, but he's no Lars Eller.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Exactly. That's why he's good.

 

[Solo]

dstrdly pls

When was Bobby Ryan's last 4 goal game? HUH?!

 

[Kave_Man]

He's good, but he's no Lars Eller.

Yeah, he's better.

 

[Solo]

Just you wait until the 2013-2014 season. Eller gonna be stretching boxes like an Amazon.com warehouse worker.

Man... yesterday's Hockeycentral@Noon is MacLean/Kypreos yelling at its best. I love Doug MacLean.

edit: and now he's calling out Chris Campoli and the insanity that the players think they could play during these discussions with no repercussions. lol

But the sport’s three most profitable teams–Maple Leafs ($81.9 million), Rangers ($74 million), Canadians ($51.6 million)–accounted for 83% of the league’s income, while 13 of 30 teams lost money, before non-cash expenses and interest payments

Reading that list I'm struggling to find ONE good reason why the league expanded to places like Florida and Phoenix. Get those teams out of there.

I'm also kind of shocked Minnesota lost money.

 

[Kave_Man]

From following that link I also came across they project the Leafs to be worth 1 billion dollars.

Nice.

Further proof that the problem isn't player salaries but where the teams are. Throwing water on Dopey's argument that moving teams to places like Quebec and Seattle will just elevate the floor to unmanageable point. Putting teams in competitive markets will make the league less divided among rich and poor teams.

Instead the NHL has gone with a "least common denominator" strategy of bargaining. They should be bargaining for the financial position of about three teams higher than PHX. Then they could move the shit market teams and go forward as a more healthy league.

Well those are just guesses, they don't have access to the NHL books.

Florida is misleading, while the team loses money, owning the team gets ownership most (or all) of the revenue from BB&T Center so they profit off that. I think there's other teams in a similar scenario.

The only teams in real trouble are ones that don't own the arena they play in or have a real shitty lease.

Except that this logic doesn't account for a team like San Jose selling out every home game and still apparently losing 15 million dollars.

Teams shouldn't have to rely on a deep playoff run just to turn a profit if the fanbase is there... especially considering the Leafs rolling in cash and being awful.

 

[calder]

The Jacobs article already discussed? Surely no NHL fan would be remotely surprised to read that Jacobs is the villain in the piece.

Haggerty: Jacobs should be held responsible

Uhmmm when a team like Nashville has to pay one of their players $110M when they are only worth $160M, I say player salaries are part of the problem.

Players are right, 50/50 isn't far.

Should be 60/40 given he shape the league is in.

Florida is a unique market not only for the local fans, but there are plenty of snow birds and transplants that the league has tapped into.

Plus the org has had a decade of terrible management and teams. You look at the mid 90's to about 2002, there were regular sellouts and very high attendence.

Well those are just guesses, they don't have access to the NHL books.

This as well.


Edit: If I'm not mistaken SSE has all ad and event revenue from the BB&T center.

Kypreos is bang on about one point...For the players, if they roll over again this CBA, it shows the owners that every time a CBA is up, if there's something they feel they want, they can just lock the players out and eventually they'll crack.

There's way too much disparity between NHL teams.

There's a few filthy rich teams, a bunch of teams in the middle and a couple of dirt poor hobo teams.

Revenue sharing can only do so much, there's no massive TV deal that can pump money into the league that the other sports have (and probably never will).

the answer is simple

It's 2012, so all balls should be Phoenix. Then, after that #1 pick is chosen, they'll empty the tumbler and refill it with the other balls representing every other team and go from there.

They won't even remove the Phoenix ones. Phoenix will end up with 6 first round picks.
