Hopefully. We need some team contraction/bankruptcies to get the league down to about 24 teams.

the owners are screwed because the players can hold out as long as they want to by playing in europe and the WHA

We've come oh so close many times, but these last minute saves keep happening. I can't see a team like the Pens surviving more than a few more years without some sort of revenue sharing coming into play.

Are you sure about that? (Detroit, Colorado, Dallas = always contenders / Florida, Nashville, Buffalo = always in the basement)

[SkateZilla]

well yeah a sal. cap could help the teams that need marqee players get them.. so the big ones like dallas colorado and detroit dont buy them all off...

We're In 9th Spot right now and we have No Marqee PLayers and the Only 2 Players WIth Average Playoff Experience is Drury and Zhitnik.

Also **** Delmore Trade him or soemthing, And Have ZHitnik take all the Shots He's Hitting the Net more and scoring more without causing stupidity turnovers.
