Comments on: Forbes tabs Kings, Panthers as teams with “most to lose” from lockout http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/16/forbes-tabs-kings-panthers-as-teams-with-most-to-lose-from-lockout/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 21:06:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: namriverrat69 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/16/forbes-tabs-kings-panthers-as-teams-with-most-to-lose-from-lockout/comment-page-1/#comment-97987 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:25:24 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=829292#comment-97987 As a Kings season ticket holder our ticket prices have been very reasonable forever (5th row behind the attack goal under $60 per game)until this coming season. We needed to renew before the playoffs started and our ticket prices jumped 20% to $72 per game, and they hadn ‘t won the Stanley Cup yet. The current prices are more in line with many other teams now but a 20% hit in the wallet is big regardless.

I agree that if the season is lost it will have a bearing on a number of players whose contracts expire after next season, most especially Jonathan Bernier who will become an RFA and would be hard to keep. Quick’s back surgery is keep everyone extremely nervous.

The team may have had a serious debt ratio in the past, but geez they just won the Stanley Cup, and merchandise has been flying off the shelves. That must count for something, and it is an analysis component that was not considered in the computation.

In addition, Forbes claims that “it’s doubtful the Kings could afford the loss.” Excuse me? The owner has a sick amount of billions of dollars and it’s doubtful that any losses he suffers makes a dent in his vast portfolio.

That’s a free year coming off DiPietro’s deal. It might be their first profitable year to date.

Can that change be made?

There is absolutely no way I can do worse than Burkie.

Who cares about teams having anything to lose, the owners are bringing it on themselves.
