I hope the owners stick to their guns on this one. The NHL has been headed in the direction of major league baseball with its financial structure for several years, and the league cannot survive that way. However, along with a cap the owners should also be talking about revenue sharing. They have the most disparate differences in markets of any of the professional sports. I do not see modern hockey surviving in the smaller Canadian cities without a cap and revenue sharing. Personally, I think the league needs to abandon some of their warm weather cities regardless of what type of agreement is reached. Has anyone in Raleigh or Phoenix even noticed that the NHL is not playing?
