Teema: Off-Topic Thread

It's coming from yahoo sports, I'm guessing they're taking signing bonuses into account, but dont know for sure.

I understand that, but there are 23 players per NHL team (20 active, 3 healthy scratches).

In the NFL there are 53 players on the team (45 active, 8 healthy scratches).

So while NHL players may average more, the average NFL team salary is about double the NHL salary.

but how many times the revenue does each NFL team make? without looking, just going off the fact that there are really only about 5-6 money making NHL franchises, I'm going to say at least double

NHL Revenue is 3 billion
NFL is 9 billion

So the NHL needs to make 1.5 billion more in revenue or cut expenses by 33%
I do think that the NFL might have higher expenses though, so that mitigates the issue somewhat.

I think the major issue is that the NHL coddles the losing franchises.
We have teams that consistently lose money, yet revenue sharing keeps them in the league.

If they moved the poor teams to better regions, they would make money and wouldn't need revenue sharing (which steals the profits from successful owners)

Facebook recommended I add Paulina Gretzky as a friend. #Facepalm

That's just weird...

A clear case of daddy issues.

no doubt, totally creepy.

All I know is my only thought at that point in time would be "I'M BANGING GRETZKY!"

It'd be one of those things, where you dive in, notice it, then look up and all you see is the Wayners face looking back at you
