there is almost a 0% chance in another lock out but anything can happen… I think it’s crazy the players are in the 57% range as it should be near the 50 because no matter what this is a business and owners are taking the risk. With profit sharing the way it is, this isn’t a huge deal but I’m sure Toronto and a few other markets get annoyed… Also with the “new” realignment, TV contracts should go up by a HUGE chunk of change seeing as teams will be playing more games in their time zone, causing more fans to watch games that aren’t at 9:30 or blah blah blah… more fans watching, more $$$ for the owners. we’ll see what happens

With all the new re alignment taking effect next year and teams playing out of there time zones hockey can start to make an even bigger leap forward…. If there is a lockout they are headed down a road of doom and gloom for a long time.. I as a Canadian will always come back to hockey, however the American folks not soo much…

The NHL would be wise to avoid another lockout. They’re still recovering from the loss of fan base from that.

Don’t look at the NBA. Please.
