<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>they have a draft because the 32 teams need organization for how talent comes into the league....not for the fans.
Even when the fan base hasn't been there, and the league was damn near a beer league, they still had a draft.
So no everything isn't done for the fans. But they sure got you in marketing to get you to think that.
Fact is they careless about the fans and more about TV deals and advertisement money than they ever will the fans. It's why they bend over backwards to appease those crowds in ways they will never for the fan base.
Let me tell you a little something I learned from growing up in Cleveland watching the browns move out of town..... F the over attachment to a team. They don't give a $#!t about the fans. You just haven't figured it out yet. Money is way more important than the fans. They aren't in this business for fans, they are in it to get paid.
So don't blame the kid for doing what he thinks is in HIS best interest. Believe me, every time an NHL team leaves a city, they don't give a crap about the fan base. Go ask AZ fans.</div></div>
Yes 32 teams need organization so they can display the product in front of their FANS. The better the team is the more support they inevitably get from FANS. This marketing you're speaking of, is it towards the fans? Interesting. TV deals and adverts? Who watches those? Hmm, is it maybe the fans? Did you know the NHL is a gate revenue driven league? Meaning if people didn't actually show up to the games the league would be in serious trouble. Again very reliant on fans. And yes of course money is more important to them, it is a business after all. But who brings them the money? Maybe, fans?
You know, you gave me a good idea though. I'm gonna video my next beer league game, post it to Youtube and gather all that juicy ad revenue. Eventually probably sign a TV deal and really start rolling it in..

Agree completely. But remember Bettman is an employee of the owners. I don't know why the the majority of owners haven't fired or just not renewed Bettman's contract for decades.
When Bettman became NHL commish, the NBA and the NHL had the same revenues. I don't care what others say, under Bettman the NHL had fallen way behind in fan support (revenue streams) in North America compared to other pro sports .

Rangers 2024
Marner isn’t likely to be traded mainly because of his full NMC and because he’s the most valuable player to the team on the roster.
But if they were to even entertain the idea of trading him (for hypothetical reasons here), if the offer didn’t start with Braeden Schneider then don’t even bother calling. A couple of busts and a guy that’s a career high of 54 points ain’t gonna get the job done

Marner is easily a better player than Boeser. He’s capable of scoring 30-35 goals, is an elite playmaker, and is great defensively

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsForLife</b></div><div>I agree. The ECHL could not have done anything else wrong. First of all, I would have assumed that the ECHL would have had rules in place to prevent the same organization from owning multiple franchises and a Conflict of Interest. We saw that the NHL forced Andlauer to sell his stake in the Habs before taking ownership of the Sens. Second, it should have been 3Rivers that ceased operations because they were the ones that owned money. The Growlers should not have been a casualty of 3Rivers mismanagement.
Third, the Growlers had been around for longer and actually had success winning Division titles, a conference title, and a Kelly Cup, while 3R just started a few years ago and has struggled to make the playoffs.</div></div>
I agree with everything you've said, additionally, the Growlers have a better attendance in general to go along with it.

Keefe has never properly taken advantage of the last change advantage and that has bothered me alot.
If you as a coach can't figure out how to use advantages to put your players in positions to be successful, then what are we even discussing about winning.
It's one thing to expect your best players to elevate their play, but it's equally important to put them in advantageous positions as well.

I think any season you ask me - what’s the worst spot your team could end the season in, I wouldn’t have to think - it’s the first team out of the playoffs.
Looks like my team (stl) is going to compete for that honor.
I’m trying to digest this, gonna do that by hopping on a bandwagon now. Kinda hard to choose.

The NHL needs to change these things
In my opinion, the salary cap imbalance is the biggest challenge facing the NHL. Welcome to your new future where each of the panthers, lightning, knights, and stars have an extremely high chance of reaching the conference finals, and if you’re Canadian, go f yourself. This year, next year, the next, and the next. Meanwhile, franchises that actually make money are then paying into profit sharing while paying 20% more for each player contract. Every July 1st and trade deadline will be centric to the income tax free states, as most players seemingly want the benefits more than not.
The hard salary cap is an extremely valuable thing to the ownership groups.
Since it is skewing the parity between teams due to differences in taxation, lifestyle, the salary cap is actively making the league one-sided, the opposite of the public facing function of the salary cap. The thing that is thought of to exist to create parity is doing the opposite. The actual purpose of the cap is solely to reduce player compensation. Parity is not the goal or the actual result. It is the justification to suppress wages. It won’t exist if its justification collapses.
The owners will either address this fast or they’ll lose the hard cap. The league is already playing in a college stadium. I don’t think they can afford this path. I predict the nhl is bankrupt within 4 years of removing the hard cap. One offseason with a luxury tax is fine, maybe two. But greed and fomo by the 3rd will set so many precedents that 2/3 of the teams will have no viable financial path forward by the 4th.
