Holy shit. It took me 1/2 hour to read that. VERY good though. One of the best articles I've read in a while. One thought I have is...

Quote:

It’s the owners who set prices, it’s the owners who sell tickets, it’s the owners who draw up contracts, and it’s the owners who run hockey franchises. If an owner doesn’t want to pay a player an exorbitant amount of money, he doesn’t have to. But he does. Why? Because other owners will. Gone are the days when a player could be blackballed from the entire League, and all owners would honour it. Today there are no agreements. Every owner is out for his own skin, and if that means at the expense of 29 other teams, then so be it.

In most cases you can replace "Owners" with "GM's". The owners throw out a number, and the GM's tend to take the reins from there.
