it seems as though almost all teams are projected to lose money over the course of the season. finances are already to the max, so i'm going to take suggestions on what to do. we can leave it, and have a few teams profitable after playoffs, should be about half and half i'd say. we can "revenue share" , since the league's national TV deal rakes in 160M a season (made up number obviously) each team could get an extra 10M per. or we can up the arena size to 25 or 30K so that more profit can be made. I think a combo if adding a few bucks and upping attendance could work, what do u guys think?

Well i've decided to go with the 25 000 rink size, and at the end of the season i'll see how large of a TV deal the league will need (how many teams are losing how much money then add the amount to every team equally)

Please keep in mind that some teams should loose money anyways. I'd like to think that my fiscal responsibility will pay some dividends at some point.

we can "revenue share" As an agent for the players....I'd like it to be noted that ANY kind of revenue sharing whatsoever, will be hotly contested by the IHLPA.....you will be hearing from our lawyers....hehehe

It was only a matter of time before someone cracked a labour situation joke. ;D
BTW, matt, 160 million $ TV contract? who do you think you are? Bettman? crank it up to NFL style billions.

The players association is the one that wants the revenue sharing Anyways, I did the 25K seating and lowered all teams ticket prices to $40 since most teams werent selling many ticket. You guys can set your tickets at anything you like by emailing me, I personally feel as if my on ice product warrants a $50 ticket price, and the fans in Stockholm werent complaining last night by eating up over 23K of those 25.
