All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Will the NHL survive the depression?

Serious question.. I just don't know how they'll do it unless players accept salary cuts.

Things will be fine assuming the cap doesn't keep going up year after year.

Re: Will the NHL survive the depression?

the NHL is in trouble anyway. Player salaries are the largest single expense for the owners and they're increasing far more than the revenue. It's like no one learned anything from the lockout.

Without better TV contracts like the NFL and NBA have, the NHL won't be able to keep up.

I think Op has a good point. NFL revenues are pretty much guaranteed. Hell, an owner in that league can make money without even fielding a team.
