I really need to read the Forbes thing.
If I'm reading it correctly (and Nik's numbers are accurate), it would also mean that the bottom 25 earners average close to $4M in operating loss per season.
Well then this is easy math...there's no way the league can feasibly support the current expense structure, even if you split the revenue around evenly...there just isn't enough OI to support the investment required to run an average NHL team.
