Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

We are all still here and we are all coming back. The players have no leverage. Take what they can get and get back to earning.

The players are going to cave.

Enough of them are stupid enough with their money to need these first few paychecks.

Never have.

NBA with no players = empty building.

NBA with no owners = Drew vs Goodman.

It’s just weird that they have no leverage.

I'm not exactly sure how you came up with that headline after you read this article...

Not that I don’t agree, but I think the most interesting point made in the article is the dull, lemming-like actions of the average sports fan (I am one). We already know the players will lose in the end, right?
In a tangential note, there was a startling (to me, anyway) factoid Ken Berger brought out the other day. If the players see their reduction of the BRI go from 57% to 50% it won’t mean paychecks are reduced by seven percent, it will mean they’re reduced by twelve percent. It’s simple math of course, but that’s a heavy cut.

headline of the article.

Oh, uh, missed that...

Weakly… my bad. With less enthusiasm, same question to them.
